Partly how providers claim they don't provide any info:

###
To help secure an insider advantage, GCHQ also established a Humint
Operations Team (HOT). Humint, short for "human intelligence" refers
to information gleaned directly from sources or undercover agents.

This GCHQ team was, according to an internal document, "responsible
for identifying, recruiting and running covert agents in the global
telecommunications industry."

Moles or not, bets on when massive lawsuits will start to be filed
against these companies for breach of contract, etc?
(or links to current suits?)
