Can you provide a source on "FB being a part of PRISM"? I can't find anything concrete to substantiate the claim.



The main support for this claim are the leaked documents by Snowden that were pusblished in The Washington Post and The Guardian in 2013.

You can find an archive of the article here:

Thankfully, the NSA slides were directly included by wikipedia, so we don't have to hunt them down:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_(surveillance_program)#/...

We can see that PRISM targets (or should I say, partners) list contains at least: Microsoft, Yahoo!, Google, Facebook, YouTube, AOL, Skype Apple.

As usual, this is what we know. Meaning what could be extracted, proven, communicated and accepted by the public. A pretty big filter already.
