Err, Apple was a willing participant in the NSA's PRISM program.
- rarepostinlurkr 10y agoSomeone adding a companies name to a slide is not proof of being a willing participant in anything.
- 234dd57d2c8db 10y agoAlright, why don't you tell me all the proof you have that Apple was not a participant in the programme? The NSA talks about them in internal documents, that they have absolutely zero incentive to lie on, that Apple is a part of PRISM. Why would the NSA lie about that on an internal document. Don't you think there would be documents saying "We tried to get Apple to cooperate, but they didn't. Until they do, these are the steps, techniques, and hacks we will use against their technology." I don't remember seeing any such documents.
- discordance 10y agoMy guess is most of the companies (Yahoo excluded) on the PRISM slide were not complicit with the PRISM or the NSA. More likely, they were pwned by the NSA without their knowing.
- orthecreedence 10y agoAs much as I dislike Apple, I actually really doubt they were willing.
