They could fight it, take it to court and whatnot. Even if they'd lose it'd still have an impact on what a huge corporations stance on this matter truly is and be a role model for other companies out there. They did nothing because they'd lose $$$ on a case they don't really have to take part in. They might be well meaning here and there but it's most for show unless they actually try to do something when it comes to privacy. They don't get off that easy in my book, fuck them.

You still bring up a good point worth debating though, +rep on that. Going to read a little bit more into this so I'm sure I ain't fucking up with what I said above. The least you can do is signing the petition, the least I can do is informing others. As long as this shit don't go through I'm happy.
