What do you call the Google Transparency Report document then? They have been admitting it and documenting it, to the best of their ability (when not gagged). Google has been fighting these in court, they have declared their opinions against the practical, they have been lobbying against these laws. They've done everything they legally can do, unless Larry Page wants to risk being put into federal prison.
The PRISM leak started as this dramatic claim that NSA is hoovering up all of the person data of everyone in the cloud. Now this has been mostly retracted to tech companies sending them data on individual accounts as requested by lawful court order, which is what they've been doing, in public view, unclassified, for years, and admitting it -- that they respond to lawful requests on a case by case basis.
What more do you want? The denials are about as vehement as they can get. The NSA denies the "firehose feed" hypothesis as well.
