After seeing this article today, I made a post on Facebook to explain to some of my friends that aren't closely following the PRISM story that this is not compatible with the statements released by Mark Zuckerberg, Marissa Mayer, and Larry Page. I'll reproduce some of my post here--I'd link directly, but my Facebook is set to 'private.'

Remember when Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Marissa Mayer (Yahoo!) and Larry Page (Google) all denied "directly" giving the NSA everyone's data?

They claimed that all access was done through national security letters and warrants, because the slides that had leaked at the time supported that. Turns out new slides leaked, and everyone lied!

  *snip* (I linked to the WaPo article, and the slide directly)
And for sources on the original denial (each claiming "no direct access"):
