No evidence of NSA's 'direct access' to tech companies
http://j.mp/12xuLRI (CNET)
"The National Security Agency has not obtained direct access to the
systems of Apple, Google, Facebook, and other major Internet
companies, CNET has learned. Recent reports in the Washington Post
and the Guardian claimed a classified program called PRISM grants
"intelligence services direct access to the companies' servers" and
that "from inside a company's data stream the NSA is capable of
pulling out anything it likes." Those reports are incorrect and
appear to be based on a misreading of a leaked Powerpoint document,
according to a former government official who is intimately familiar
with this process of data acquisition and spoke today on condition of
anonymity."
