Exactly why is no company addressing the fact that the government already accepted the program's existence and the fact that they snoop emails/communications. How can the program exist and take data and these companies not giving the data at the same time? Other explanations include...
* Data is not, as everyone seems to keep saying, "direct access" and either first sent to NSA servers or a copy is sent periodically.
* Companies don't know and NSA is unlawfully getting data (unlikely).
* Companies are being forced to not talk about it and outright deny it.
* There is somehow a plausible deniability. The are not willingly giving up the data but they aren't stopping them from taking it either and just turning a blind eye to NSA's activities.
