Today, most tech giants are from the USA, and from what I understand the patriot act pretty much force any of them to cooperate as soon as it is asked.
If you ask me what I think it should be like, it’s different. I think it is a great power and responsibility, that should only be given to a democratic power, in the most radical meaning of “democratic”. In my opinion, there is no currently established state that deserve this power. So I don’t think they should
Now if this is a very practical question about what I would do if I had to make that choice for a specific case, it would heavily depend on the case and the risks I face. If it was to work against a fascist action of any sort, I would cooperate. If it was against someone close to me politically and I was confident enough that I could be safe, I would not cooperate.
