I'm going to invoke Betteridge's law of headlines here.
"One theory that’s been gaining traction as of late, on how the NSA got around those pesky little things called laws, is that they outsourced the project to Israel."
So basically a random conspiracy theory clickbait. Also the reference to 8200 here really shows the author has no fogey idea.
In short, Israeli intelligence out of necessity doesn't focus on PRISM like data-mining approaches.
Well said. Also, tip to US journos (and Israeli Business-Insider-wannabe bloggers): 8200 used to be a small and highly selective unit. These days it's the biggest unit of any kind in the IDF.
The fact an Israeli company has people who served there is meaningless, it reflects nothing on what the company does nor the quality of its people.

Conspiracy theory presumes a secret: not a fog of misinformation to counter the known and open facts.
