Intro paragraph lifted directly from DNI source/statement without any quotations

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)

Yeah, that's obviously not right. I went ahead and edited it back to how it was before. Benjamin (talk) 12:19, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Serious violations of NPOV by User Factcheck5512

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.

• I was going to object, but I think you do actually have a good case here. I'm still reluctant, though. "Prism" is such a broad term, and this article is so narrow.--Srleffler (talk) 19:36, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

  The MAVEN vs Maven example shows clearly that we can have separate articles based on title capitalization. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:31, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

• Support per WP:DIFFCAPS; readers are unlikely to search for a different prism by entering PRISM. BilledMammal (talk) 03:18, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

Confusing Article

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)

@2600:1700:3EC0:4358:4CB2:AC0E:9EDD:78F0 Additionally, the subtitle of the article, containing the term "mass surveillance," does not match the description of the program in the article. 69.53.240.1 (talk) 15:49, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Map

I know we can't use original research, but I wonder if the map (besides being outdated) is accurate. My curiosity is raised by North and South Korea both being dark green. Kdammers (talk) 22:36, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
