On June 10, the day that Britain's Guardian newspaper revealed Snowden's identity, the 10 most searched terms, according to Google Trends, were: iOS7, PS4, Tim Tebow, Mac Pro, Kingdom Hearts, Miami Heat, IGN, Chad Johnson, NBA Playoffs, and the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).
NSA, Snowden, privacy, all that stuff -- none of it even made the top 20.
{And the government hardly has a corner on the privacy-breaching market.} Even as we continue to learn more about how the NSA collects data on U.S. citizens, we are also hearing about Facebook's shadow profiles, which collate data about you even if you're not on Facebook, and Google Glass seems to have a lot of people twitchy.
请问第三段第一句话是什么意思。谢谢！

一隅之地
政府在侵犯隐私市场上几乎算不上占有一隅之地。
这段是说美国政府不是侵犯隐私的大头。前几年，facebook侵犯隐私事件，曾经在美国国内引起轩然大波，被炒得沸沸扬扬。再加上新近的google眼镜，也是引起议论纷纷。

修正一下：政府在侵犯隐私市场上算不上统领一隅之地。
corner: a position in which one dominates the supply of a particular commodity.
e.g. London doesn’t have a corner on film festivals
