The Wikipedia article you link talks about the NSA giving money to "PRISM partners", but Google was not a "PRISM partner" in any sense. Nor was Facebook (where I worked at the time). Pretty sure Apple wasn't. Not as sure about MS but I doubt they were either, even if they may have been a little bit closer. The most likely "PRISM partners" were telcos.
