"Don't worry, we encrypt all the data"
"I've heard as part of the prism program NSA has the encryption key?"
"I don't know the answer to that"

I wouldn't dare believe that anything in AWS or Azure or Google Cloud is out of reach for the US agencies unless the end-user has encrypted it with a key that the cloud provider doesn't have access to.

Honestly that is the right answer.

Why would a media manager at MS know about what data is handed off to the NSA?

If the answer was no then I imagine being able to say so would be good for Microsoft in regards to both Public and Legal Affairs, so the fact that he doesn't know do say something in my opinion.

Knowing what the US is like for gag orders saying no would open a can of shareholder worms they don't want to touch at any distance.
