The National Security Agency has obtained access to the central servers
of nine major Internet companies — including Google, Microsoft, Apple,
Yahoo! and Facebook. The Guardian and The Washington Post revealed the
top-secret program, codenamed PRISM, after they obtained several slides from a 41-page training presentation for senior intelligence analysts. It explains how PRISM
allows them to access emails, documents, audio and video chats,
photographs, documents and connection logs. "Hundreds of millions of
Americans, and hundreds of millions – in fact, billions of people around
the world – essentially rely on the Internet exclusively to communicate
with one another," Greenwald says. "Very few people use landline phones
for much of anything. So when you talk about things like online chat
and social media messages and emails, what you’re really talking about
is the full extent of human communication." This comes after Greenwald
revealed Wednesday in another story that the NSA
has been collecting the phone records of millions of Verizon customers.
"They want to make sure that every single time human beings interact
with one another … that they can watch it, and they can store it, and
they can access it at any time."
