Around 3:50 mark -- Snowden talks about NSA PRISM access and US tech giants. This might have been the underpinning of the "direct access" quotes made by The Guardian and The Washington Post in the past.

Also, Glenn Greenwald is a great story teller. He releases documents, lets the public digest and understand them, and then he releases a second video, which builds on our existing understanding.

No, the underpinning is the slide [1] which explicitly states "collection directly from the servers"

I think there are good odds we will see privacy related whistleblowing happening at US tech giants in the coming years.
