@emptywheel@KevinBankston key point to me was that millions of dollars being reimbursed to companies who deny all knowledge of Prism -
@stuartmillar159 But I'm wondering if 1) part of $$ was abt changes they made 2) upstream was problem.@KevinBankston -
@emptywheel yeah that's a very tantalising question@KevinBankston -
@stuartmillar159 Imagine if Google (w/HTTPS) ONLY provided upstream. That might explain pique at being called PRISM.@KevinBankston -
@emptywheel they were specifically named as Prism in these docs and the original PowerPoint. But it's an intriguing thought@KevinBankston -
@stuartmillar159 Right. But what says they ONLY produce downstream (PRISM)? Couldn't they do both?@KevinBankston

@emptywheel@KevinBankston I didn't read the google/yahoo delay as anything other than bureaucracy -
@stuartmillar159 You would know better than I if it is Goog/Yahoo specific.@KevinBankston -
@emptywheel I seriously doubt I would know anything better than you@KevinBankston
