When asked about this program, all of the major tech companies claimed ignorance. An Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) spokesman said that the company had not heard of PRISM and added, “We do not provide any government agency with direct access to our servers, and any government agency requesting customer data must get a court order.” Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) said something similar, noting that it does not give access to any data to government organizations. Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) said that they only give out what is legally demanded. Curious wording, that.
