They are evidence of some kind of collaboration.

The problem is that evidence of collaboration doesn’t substantiate anything at all about participation in prism or any other illegal or underhanded scheme.

We know that Google does have portals to service lawful government information requests.

It’s also entirely possible that Google participated in some kind of analytics development based on their web indexing and nothing to do with private user data.

Either of these would be at least plausible explanations for these comments as “they joined prism and handed over all data to the NSA”.

Innuendo is not evidence.



I guess we'll have to wait for another leak to get confirmation on the exact nature of the relationship.


Absolutely.

But until we do, there is no evidence to support these claims.
