Does anyone else have the suspicion that Prism was named prism because instead of getting companies to co-operate with the program they were siphoning off data like they did to google by tapping their fiber lines?

That would fit more in line with what we have heard about the tapping stations/rooms at AT&T/Verizon over the years.

I mean if they were really involved with back dooring the individual servers of google/apple/facebook that would involve hundreds of employees at each company to make that happen. Someone would have spoken out by now with some evidence to prove it.

To my knowledge that hasn't happened. Just this shitty looking powerpoint outlining when the data was starting to come in...
