Google, Yahoo, and Facebook have directly denied that the NSA has direct access to their servers, despite what the slide deck says. The conclusion I've drawn from this is that the author of the slide deck was probably an idiot.

The author of the slide deck had successfully sold that solution to the NSA. I wouldn't hurry to call him an idiot.

In previous lives I've been on the vendor's side of way too many transactions with DoD to think that "selling something to NSA" is a high intellectual hurdle to clear.
