I would like to believe these reports from Google [1] and Facebook [2], but someone is not telling the truth.

There is evidence that directly contradicts their stories (i.e. The Guardian has verified the authenticity of the document, a 41-slide PowerPoint presentation – classified as top secret with no distribution to foreign allies – which was apparently used to train intelligence operatives on the capabilities of the program. The document claims "collection directly from the servers" of major US service providers. [3]).

Who are we to believe?

> Facebook is not and has never been part of any program to give the US or any other government direct access to our servers.

That's the problem with you geeks: you need real evidence for everything. Can't you just have faith? Can't you learn to just believe?
