I thought the whole intro read oddly for Wikipedia (starting off with a "PRISM is NOT ___" as if it's rebutting things, using "The Government" to describe the United States federal government, using "We" to refer to same such gov't.) Looked at the source cited, the DNI press release/statement/what have you, and the intro is literally just the first few bullet points word-for-word, without any quotes. Should probably be rewritten to be a bit more neutral than an official US gov't statement on the program, no? 208.58.216.185 ( talk) 22:34, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
There have been a number of proposed updates by user Factcheck5512 which appear to be violations of [WP:NPOV] and an effort to "explain away" criminal activities committed by the NSA against the United States. Specifically, the latest update which suggests that the crimes were some how lawful, with references of after-the-fact back-filling by the NSA and George W. Bush regime in an effort to make the criminal activities appear to have been lawful at the time. In fact as the Snowden documents indicate (and the text of which the user conveniently deleted) the crimes were crimes when the NSA committed them against the United States.
This appears to me to be an effort by a government agent -- either foreign or domestic -- to alter the history of thee crimes. We may need to get an Admin in here to acquire the user's IP address and see if it can be correlated with a known governmental entity, yet at minimum we may need to get an Admin to evaluate the POV aspects and determine if we have a problem user.

For the first lawsuit listed, there is no outcome, nor embedded link to an article about the case itself - only links to the plaintiffs & other parties.
This article clarifies that the ruling was in favor of the plaintiffs May 7, 2015. https://www.aclu.org/blog/national-security/privacy-and-surveillance/why-todays-landmark-court-victory-against-mass Steve8394 ( talk) 06:01, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

In some places, the article says that the government gets sent data for specific accounts, which matches all the released documents. In others, it states Snowden's claim that the government can unilaterally get any content it wishes, which none of the documents support. Can you clean up the page to split what is said about PRISM in the documents from what Snowden and Greenwald have claimed? 2600:1700:3EC0:4358:4CB2:AC0E:9EDD:78F0 ( talk) 17:11, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
