? Yes, being ordered and gagged by the US government is coercion. Are you familiar with the article you linked to?

  I think the point being made is, via PRISM data is provided on the regular with zero coercion. That is, the bar is much lower than (your suggestion of) the need for coercion. Note: Not taking sides. Only trying to clear up the doubt.

    > zero coercion This is false, although it's reasonable to assume that, during the coersion, some specific people or companies do roll over out of self-interest.

      Friend. It's not my position or argument. I was only trying to clear up the comms disconnect.
