[governance] NSA has direct access to tech giants' systems for user data, secret ppt reveals

[michael gurstein]

I may have missed it but I didn't see any denial by the head of the NSA
program and presumably the party ultimately responsible for the slides.
Although I did see the extremely carefully (and interestingly similarly)
worded "denial statements" by the company PR reps.

It is worth noting that the companies have all denied involvement
categorically, as has been reported subsequently to the original reportage.
