Ugh, so let's stifle the media on the subject? The fact that the leader of a powerful nation is making any sort of protest should be lauded by the tech community.
It would've been 'laudable' (really? Isn't the word we're going for 'expected' instead?) if she'd have reacted in any decent way after we learned about the general targeting of Germany and German citizens. At THAT point she was supposed to shout/complain/make a fuss.
Thing is - she really didn't. NOW, after learning that she, herself, was a target for some time, the situation changed. Which is crap, disgusting and just showing how detached that person is from (the tech community's) reality.
