Arrington was addressing the leaders of these companies, not the organizations themselves. While corporations obviously do not have consciences nor moral compasses, his point was that humans do, or at least they should. And I think he was pretty clear about what he would have those leaders do:
> Perhaps you could all get on a conference call tonight and double dare each other to do it all together, at the same time.
> “The NSA makes us do things that crush our Constitution, and then they make us never talk about it.”
> I hope one of them does
They don't need to lead any revolutions, or even leak classified information. The cat is out of the bag, so to speak. All he's asking for is for them to not lie to us, especially when they know that we know that what they're saying is demonstrably false.
