From my limited understanding, the slides are unlikely to be 'incorrect' as Snowden worked there so he would know what was actually going on. It's possible Snowden is making the whole thing up but the government haven't denied anything is going on. It should also be possible for at least some of Snowdens claims to be verified. For example he has claimed that the government was hacking Universities it might be possible to see evidence of that. Or he claimed people have been wiretapped, maybe he knows some of the conversations. It's possible the government won't deny due to a policy of denial and are sticking to it despite the huge PR issues. Or maybe they want people to think they are watching. Or maybe the people in positions to deny stuff want the current government to look bad. Maybe the government will deny later and it's taken a while due to bureaucracy. But by that time it will be to late since if there was anything they will have had time to clean house. Only Google have so for made a post saying the whole thing is fake.
