I think the revelations from the Snowden leaks were that the NSA had a mechanism for getting information from Facebook and other U.S. internet companies, in a program now known as PRISM to the public (known as FAA 702 to the Intelligence Community and Congress). According to disclosures, NSA would submit requests via FBI National Security Letters for information about foreign persons of intelligence interest. So it would appear that only the NSA had the capability to perform these requests; AUS/CAN/UK/NZ would not have access.
