I disagree. The impact of Facebook being discovered stealing data from Google systems is complete and utter destruction of the company, Enron-style.
The real danger of programs like PRISM, outside of abuse of power by the executive branch, is access to the data leaking from the national security realm to the normal law enforcement channels. The data collected by commercial entities is dangerous because unlike NSA stuff, its just a subpoena away from any police department.
