On: Google’s Schmidt: NSA Spying on Data Centers ‘Outrageous’

[Oletros]

> I remember that report (one of the earlier ones) that said that Google hosts hardware provided by the NSA

Any link for that?

I read it in another Guardian article at the time, but: http://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/nov/01/pri... slide #3:

"Collection directly from the servers of these US Service Providers: Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, Youtube, Apple."

"directly from the servers of these US Service Providers" means "with help from these US Service Providers"

[skj → frank_boyd]

Or, it means they tapped the lines between servers.

This assertion of meaning without evidence is a waste of time. Please make sure to replace "means" with "causes me to think" in the future.

When they talk about "directly from the servers..." they are talking about PRISM and yes, it is data sent from the companies regarding federal requests.

It has nothing to do with the claim " Google has NSA hardware in their datacenters"

> "directly from the servers of these US Service Providers" means "with help from these US Service Providers"

Or it means "with the court-ordered forced help of these companies".
