The List of Evil Companies

I'm going to keep a list of Evil Companies. Companies that lie , or do nasty things that a large number of their customers would find offensive.  In order to make the list , a company has to go above and beyond the call of profiteering. Screwing you over with cheap flimsy products isn't enough.


LG , a Division of Samsung
Why : News Reports , nov 2013 , of their Smart TV not only tracking the viewing habits of it's users (despite having internal controls that could be set to "off" , they tracked you anyways) , but they were also tracking anything else on the local network the TV was connected too (file names from USB sticks , from any disks put into the cd / blue ray players, etc)

Google , Microsoft  , AOL , most USA Corperations
Why :  Homeland Security in the United States Requires them not only to turn over all information they have on every user who uses their services, they are legally forbidden to tell anyone just how much information they're turning over. President Obama publically admitted to this in the summer of 2013 . In the face of their restriction of telling just how much they're reveiling to the NSA via the infamous PRISM program , declarations that they're not listening in on your phone calls , reading your emails , listening to your skype calls , etc (for anyone in the world) are non-credible.

Google Corperation (Again !) 
Why :  I have an android phone. Anytime I try to use anything from Google it demands I activate Google tracking and let them track my exact location all day long. I tried to download and use a program to learn french , and they want to know my exact location. I see no reason for this. Deleted the App.

Microsoft , re: XBox :
Why :  The XBox has a camera on it (the kinect device to detect hand / arm motions) and Microsoft is legally requried , like all USA Corperations, to spy for the US Government. Ergo : Pictures of you in your home while many people are likely partially or completely unclad are being submitted to NSA whether you like it or not.

Microsoft , re: Windows Updates :
Why :   The combination of automated Windows Updates and US Government requiresments for any US corperation to spy for them mean that they can include a trojen to spy on  you at any time through an automated update.  The fact that there wasn't one there yesterday doesn't mean there isn't one there today. Also , given the history of companies like LG for including opt out features that don't actually opt you out of anything , the fact that you've disabled updates doesn't mean a thing. 

Apple iPhone re: Fingerprint scanner
Why :   Because Apple is a USA Company , and is legally required to hand over all information it gathers to NSA . And it's getting the fingerprint of anyone who buys one of their fancy new finger print secured iPhones, and thus passing it on to the USGovernment. Yes, they totally deny it. Yes, they are forbidden to tell you just how much information they are giving to NSA by US Law , no their denials are not credible.


This list will continue to be updated as new evidence and news articles come to light.
