NSA Top Lawyer Says Tech Giants Knew About Data Collection
 

I guess the only thing left to say to the NSA is "prove it." If Google, Apple, Yahoo, AOL, Microsoft and Facebook are all lying, there should be some kind of proof of that...right? The top lawyer for the National Security Agency and others from the Obama administration made it clear to the US government's independent oversight board that tech titans knew about government surveillance while it was going on. NSA general counsel Rajesh De told the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board on Wednesday that tech titans were aware that the NSA was collecting communications and related metadata both for the NSA's "PRISM" program and for "upstream" communications crossing the Internet. PRISM is a surveillance program designed to collect and process "foreign intelligence" that passes through American servers.
