There is some blatantly false information on this page. > Google was caught red-handed participating in NSA’s illegall surveillance of almost everyone PRISM was infiltration. The wiki also calls out Apple in this event, who are known to proactively limit surveillance. Many of the arguments also suffer from severely flawed logic, especially where the actions of others are held against Google. There is some truth here, but it is far outweighed by false information.

>PRISM was infiltration. According to the leaked documents, the companies were "partners". Of course the companies denied it, what else did you expect? >Government officials and the document itself made clear that the NSA regarded the identities of its private partners as PRISM’s most sensitive secret, fearing that the companies would withdraw from the program if exposed. “98 percent of PRISM production is based on Yahoo, Google and Microsoft; we need to make sure we don’t harm these sources,” the briefing’s author wrote in his speaker’s notes. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/us-intelligence-mining-data-from-nine-us-internet-companies-in-broad-secret-program/2013/06/06/3a0c0da8-cebf-11e2-8845-d970ccb04497_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/us-intelligenc...

  > the companies were "partners" Except for the slide where the Google inflitration is documented?[1] > we need to make sure we don’t harm these sources A "source" in intelligence does not not necessarily imply complicitness, an "asset" does.
