Uh, doesn't the first sentence in the updated paragraph still say that the government is tapping directly into central servers blah blah blah? I'm sure PRISM is not the all-powerful intelligence apparatus people here are claiming but I'm not sure how much hedging is really going on here. It was obvious even from the first draft that the claims WaPo were making were based on the slides that were leaked.

Indeed. The first version of the paragraph gave no indication as to the source of the information. The modified version of the paragraph simply defines the source, but doesn't otherwise change the content of the paragraph. It seems businessinsider is trying too hard to find a new angle on the story for views.
