I realize you're interested in defending these companies' involvement. That's fine when it's on topic. However, you've just replied to an article and comments that focus on the content that's being intercepted outside of Prism. You don't even mention in your comment that what you're saying applies only to Prism. I know you're sensitive to the Google-bashing, but that's not going on here. It's important we discuss the other aspects of this story and not get too caught up on Prism until we have all the details.
