Serious question: How do we know PRISM is real? The only source I could find is The Guardian and the PPT of the so called PRISM project.
Some facts:
* The Guardian is the only source.
* We don't know how they verified the authenticity of the PPT.
* We don't know anything about Edward Snowden.
* All companies 'involved' never heard of PRISM and also don't know how the NSA does gather user information without a warrant.
- yen223 13y agoObama has confirmed its existence. But you do raise an interesting point. Does anyone know exactly what PRISM is, from a technical point of view? It seems that everything we know about it comes from the leaked powerpoint slides.
- Terretta 13y agoYour bullet #1 is not accurate. WaPo was the first source Snowden contacted. WaPo lost its exclusive when they didn't agree to Snowden's timetable. Both WaPo and Guardian released around the same time.
