> People still believe the PRISM program was about companies giving the NSA direct and unlimited backdoor access to their databases, I agree that the sentence exactly as you've written it describes a possible conspiracy theory that some people may hold. I also believe you're hedging a bit-- it's possible for people who didn't follow the leaks to infer from your exact wording that a) NSA did not access those databases at scale using the PRISM program, or even b) NSA did not access those databases using PRISM, or maybe even c) NSA did not access those databases using PRISM or any other NSA program. None of those are true. Here's something relevant from Wikipedia about PRISM: > Documents indicate that PRISM is "the number one source of raw intelligence used for NSA analytic reports", and it accounts for 91% of the NSA's internet traffic acquired under FISA section 702 authority." Can you speak to the veracity of that sentence?
