Oppressive Governments and Sophos

Not sure why Schneier mentions Sophos of all the Endpoint Protection vendors in his essay about the current epic battle on the internet: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2013/10/the_battle_for_1.html

Quote:

In many cases, the interests of corporate and government powers are aligning. Both corporations and governments benefit from ubiquitous surveillance, and the NSA is using Google, Facebook, Verizon, and others to get access to data it couldn't otherwise. The entertainment industry is looking to governments to enforce its antiquated business models. Commercial security equipment from companies like BlueCoat and Sophos is being used by oppressive governments to surveil and censor their citizens. The same facial recognition technology that Disney uses in its theme parks can also identify protesters in China and Occupy Wall Street activists in New York. Think of it as a public/private surveillance partnership.
