U.S. technology providers from Apple Inc. to Yahoo! Inc. said they don’t give the U.S. government direct access to their systems, responding to newspaper reports of a top-secret electronic surveillance program.
The National Security Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation access the central servers of nine U.S. Internet companies, extracting audio and video chats, photographs, e-mails, documents and connection logs, the Washington Post and the U.K.-based Guardian reported late yesterday, citing documents they obtained.
