They have a valid complaint, but it's not about privacy. In reality this bill would further cripple those same companies' already shaky foreign footprint, which costs them a little money now, and hundreds of billions over the long run. Virtually everything Congress is doing anymore related to the tech field is coming directly at the expense of foreign adoption.

I expect Google, FB, MS, and the lot of them to relocate to a more tech-friendly country in our lifetime. They're crunching the numbers right this second to decide whether they save more money staying here, paying nothing, and fighting this or planting their HQ in Bermuda tomorrow morning and never worrying about tech-retarded politicians again.
