How Have The Companies Responded
Apple, Facebook, and Google have each responded with flat-out denials.
“We have never heard of PRISM,” said Apple spokesperson Steve Dowling in a statement. “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.”
In a statement to The Guardian, Google said that it “cares deeply about the security of our users’ data. We disclose user data to government in accordance with the law, and we review all such requests carefully. From time to time, people allege that we have created a government ‘back door’ into our systems, but Google does not have a back door for the government to access private user data.”
According to AllThingsD, Facebook said, “We do not provide any government organization with direct access to Facebook servers. When Facebook is asked for data or information about specific individuals, we carefully scrutinize any such request for compliance with all applicable laws, and provide information only to the extent required by law.”

It makes you wonder what people's threshold and intolerance are for the military's massive over reach of power. If people aren't distracted by the Game of Thrones season finally on Monday, then there will probably be some Wag the Dog type incident to subside everyone's contempt.

The irony is that the poor people fund this program with their taxes. Instead of free national healthcare, you have you're privacy stripped and are being monitored at all times.

LOL to people thinking they're being monitored. Yeah, they might have access to all this data, and use it in criminal investigations, but I don't think they have the resources or manpower to just eavesdrop on our boring, pedestrian lives.
