Tech giants Google, Facebook,YouTube and Microsoft suffered tirade from users as reports exposed that they allow the US government direct access to their servers in support of a data-gathering activities being conducted by the national Security Agency.

According to a report from The Washington Post, Facebook, Google and YouTube are one of the companies which comprised PRISM. According to the report those tech companies involved with PRISM "monitors information that passes through the companies to and foreign targets."

In an answer to this, Google appealed to the Obama government to allow publication of reports on the specifics request that both National Security Agency (NSA) and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) asked from the company and how Google responded to these specific requests.

Through an open letter to Attorney general Eric Holder and FBI Director Robert Mueller, Google Chief Legal Officer, David Grummond explained that if they continue to keep these requests from the public's knowledge, people will continue to suspect that the government is doing something malicious with Google users' personal information.

Mr. Drummond wrote that "the result clearly show that our compliance with these requests falls far short of the claims being made. Google has nothing to hide."

Google further explained in the letter that, "transparency here will serve the public interest without harming national security. Assertions in the press that our compliance with these requests gives the U.S. government unfettered access to our users' data are simply untrue. However, government nondisclosure obligations regarding the numbers of FISA national security requests that Google receives, as well as the number of accounts covered by those requests, fuel that speculation."

Mr. Drummon explained that if allowed publication, the information will be published through Google's Transparency Report. Google had already published such report in the past which included security letters and the number of Google users being affected by such government requests. However, the Transparecy Report did not include those requests coming from FISA. Google was bound by law not to disclose any information involving FISA.

In the letter, Mr. Drummond said that, "Google appreciates that you authorized the recent disclosure of general numbers for national security letters. There have been no adverse consequences arising from their publication, and in fact more companies are receiving your approval to do so as a result of Google's initiative."

After Google's letter, Microsoft appealed a request in tune with Google's request saying that, "Permitting greater transparency on the aggregate volume and scope of national security requests, including FISA orders, would help the community understand and debate these important issues. Our recent report went as far as we legally could and the government should take action to aloow companies to provide additional transparency."

Following Google and Microsoft appeal, Facebook came up with the same letter of request, "We would welcome the opportunity to provide transparency report that allows us to share with those who use Facebook around the world a complete picture of the government requests we receive, and how we respond. We urge the United States government to help make that possible by allowing companies to include information about the size and scope of national security requests we receive, and look forward to publishing a report that includes that information."

Other tech companies like Yahoo, AOL, Apple and Paltalk were also accused of giving the government direct access to their servers. However, all companies denied the accusation.
