PRISM is just NSA's management systems for sending lawful (kinda) information requests for specific accounts under FISA act to the companies. If data is not leaving your device (e.g not synced into iCloud) then they can't get it.

Also if you opt-in for apple's advanced data encryption[0] they can't even get that because your data is fully e2e encrypted and the key is only stored on your phone. Which is probably why FBI had to sue Apple to get data on Bernardino terries and then worked around by hacking into their devices. Show me another big tech company that does this.

Don't believe their lies. They let agencies directly into their supply line. Nobody is above the law and they must comply like any other.

The Bernardino case was a stunt to get people believing this lie. All the other cases in which Apple complies are not made publi, though.

Corporations are not your friend.


Right and you know this because…?


Snowden.
