But there's an important thing to remember here: even though companies pushed back, even though companies demanded, hey, let's do this through a warrant process, let's do this where we actually have some sort of legal review, some sort of basis for handing over these users' data, we saw stories in the Washington Post last year that weren't as well reported as the PRISM story that said the NSA broke in to the data center communications between Google to itself and Yahoo to itself.
Tapi ada hal penting yang harus diingat: meskipun ada perusahaan yang menentang, ada perusahaan yang meminta izin tertulis, melakukannya dengan cara mereka bisa meninjau ulang legalitasnya, semacam dasar untuk menyerahkan data pengguna ini, kita melihat banyak liputan di Washington Post tahun lalu yang tidak sebagus kisah PRISM ini, yang mengatakan bahwa NSA masuk dengan paksa ke pusat data komunikasi antara Google ke NSA dan Yahoo ke NSA.
