Obama met with Eric Schmidt (Google), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) and Reed Hastings (Netflix), as well as the Drop Box executives to discuss issues around intelligence, surveillance, technology and privacy. Mark Zuckerberg was apparently quite vocal his criticism of the administration's techniques.

In my opinion, this is clearly a response to the Snowden leaks, implicating these companies in the sharing of metadata. Is this a way for them to distance themselves from the government spying scandal?
