Fake as in fake document, or fake as in they are engaged in damage control?

The lack of any actual signatures from individual real people, like CEOs, is pretty suspicious.

What would it even mean for a letter like this to come from all those companies, practically speaking?

Go to any of those sites and see if there is a link on their front page to that site, or even just an acknowledgement of that letter.

Someone is trying to get one or more of these companies to pull a Joe Biden.


Vice President Joe Biden, speaking to a decidedly anti-war audience in Iowa on Sunday, played down the Obama administration's pledge to use military force to rid Syria of chemical weapons.

Biden, weighing a run for president in 2016, instead touted the U.S.-Russian diplomatic proposal for Syria to relinquish its chemical arsenal under international supervision.

"We're going to the United Nations with a resolution this week that will in fact call on the United Nations of the world to put pressure on Syria to have the confiscation and destruction of all those weapons," Biden told hundreds of Iowa's most devout Democrats at Sen. Tom Harkin's annual steak picnic and fall fundraiser.

Personally, I think it is a fake because most of those companies are the ones helping to spy on Americans. Google, Facebook and Yahoo, for instance, collaborate with CIA, FBI and law enforcement.

It's real, but probably just PR. Hey, babe, it's an empire of lies.

Hell, I don't know. It all sounds pretty vague.
