>it’s astonishing that so many people willfully continue to use products/services offered by the core companies that are members of PRISM surveillance

I don't think it's practical to expect either ordinary consumers or tech-savvy people to completely avoid all use of any Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo, Google, YouTube, Apple, Dropbox, or Verizon/T-Mobile/Sprint/AT&T product or service, or to use Tor or I2P 24/7 as that website seems to suggest.

In how many cases were those companies essentially forced or heavily pressured to participate?
