Yahoo! takes users’ privacy very seriously.
If the government has a broader voluntary national security program to gather customer data we don’t participate in it. We provide customer data only when we receive a legally binding order or subpoena to do so, and never on a voluntary basis. In addition we only ever comply with orders for requests about specific accounts or identifiers. Microsoft has released an official statement, claiming the following: We disclose user data to government in accordance with the law, and we review all such requests carefully. Google cares deeply about the security of our users’ data. Google has confirmed with TNW by phone that it does not know about this program and that it isn’t participating in it in any way. The company tells us that “Google does not have a ‘back door’ for the government to access private user data.”įollowing speculation that the above companies are playing ignorant in regards to the program name or that they could be providing API access, Google has confirmed with TNW that it isn’t participating in a similar program with a different name and that it isn’t providing a special API to the government.
Shortly after we received this confirmation, Apple told CNBC that it has “never heard of PRISM.” In addition, the company claims it does not “provide any government agency with direct access to servers.”
