As soon as Cook became CEO, he let the NSA's Prism program into Apple. Everything since then has been a fucking lie.
> Andrew Stone, who worked with Jobs for nearly 25 years, told the site Cult of Mac last week that Steve Jobs resisted letting Apple be part of PRISM, a surveillance program that gives the NSA access to records of major Internet companies. His comments come amid speculation that Jobs resisted cooperating. “Steve Jobs would’ve rather died than give into that,” Stone told the site.
> According to leaked NSA slides about PRISM, Apple was the last tech behemoth to join the secret program — in October 2012, a year after Jobs died. Apple has said that it first heard about PRISM on June 6 of this year, when asked about it by reporters.
I mean, maybe they didn't call it "PRISM" when talking about it with Cook, so it could technically be true that they didn't hear of PRISM until media stories. Everyone knows the spy agency goes around telling all of their project code names to companies they're trying to compromise. Hello, sir. We're here to talk to you about our top secret surveillance program we like to call PRISM where we intercept and store communications of everyone. Would you like to join? MS did. So did Google. Don't you want to be in our select cool club?
