There's a bombshell report tonight that nine leading tech companies are knowingly giving information on users to the U.S. Government

The program is called PRISM and it reportedly involved Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, Apple.

Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook have all come out to deny participation in the program. 

We have each of their statements here.

A spokesperson for Apple emphatically denied that it is handing over user information telling us: "We have never heard of PRISM. We do not provide any government agency with direct access to our servers, and any government agency requesting customer data must get a court order."

Here's the statement from Facebook: "We do not provide any government organization with direct access to Facebook servers. When Facebook is asked for data or information about specific individuals, we carefully scrutinize any such request for compliance with all applicable laws, and provide information only to the extent required by law,."
