This article shows different: "Blanket denials from Microsoft, Google, and Facebook -- and efforts to clear their names -- are the opposite of what AT&T and Verizon did in response to reports saying they opened their systems to the National Security Agency. " [1]

- lern_too_spel 8y agoAs I said in my earlier post, those denials are accurate according to Snowden's documents. They integrated with the FBI to process court ordered user data requests. They obviously would have no knowledge of a downstream NSA data processing system or its code name. Your article itself says that the initial reporting was incorrect and links to https://www.cnet.com/news/no-evidence-of-nsas-direct-access-to-tech-companies/ https://www.cnet.com/news/no-evidence-of-nsas-direct-access-... which correctly explains how PRISM is an NSA system that processes court ordered electronic wiretaps obtained by the FBI.
