> Project Shield is an initiative to use Google's infrastructure to protect free expression online

How peculiar. The tech is DDoS mitigation, but the PR focus is on "free expression online", Syrian gas attacks, and evil Iran.

Wonderfully executed. The internet crowd is cheering the "free speech", the government approves of the Middle East angle.

Meanwhile, PRISM keeps working and very few care about it.
