When Grubhub acquired Eat24 from Yelp and removed the group order feature in favor of signing up for a "corporate" account, it sent much of my business to DoorDash.
The style of the art on that page is similar to HBO's Silicon Valley opening[1]. Until I scrolled down I thought the page might be some sort of satire.

But the thrust of that article is more suspicion that Amazon is not mentioned in the leaks and questioning the reliability of the company's word. It does cite one source, described in the article as non-mainstream, which asserts that Amazon was a part of PRISM, but that source fails to cite any leak.
Edit: I should mention that the first article casting doubt on Amazon's reliability is published by an independent publishing company, historically an industry that has been at odds with Amazon and harmed by its business practices.
Has this been substantiated? To my knowledge Amazon denies being a part of PRISM and the only thing a quick search reveals is that denial and Snowden criticizing Amazon for not being HTTPS by default on some of their endpoints.
