It has come to light that the U.S. intelligence agencies have a direct tap into the servers of the U.S.’s largest Internet companies where agents can go through for any suspicious activity.
“The highly classified program, designed to look at international communications and run by the National Security Agency and the FBI, can peek at video, audio, photos, emails and other documents, including connection logs that let the government track people, according to the sources, who spoke with NBC News on condition of anonymity.”
“The program, code-named PRISM, was first publicly exposed Thursday evening by The Washington Post and The Guardian.”
“According to the Post, which reported that it had obtained an internal NSA presentation on the PRISM operation, the tool was so successful that it was the top contributor to President Barack Obama’s daily intelligence brief — with 1,477 articles last year.”
“The participating technology companies were a virtual “Who’s Who” of Silicon Valley, including Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube and Apple, the Post said.”
As seen from the above reports, the US Intelligence Agencies are even peeping in to the secret lives of each and everybody whom they want. This is a gross criminal act and can not be condoned any way. Privacy of people can not be violated. The world opinion has to be mounted up against this violation of the fundamental rights of each and every citizen.
Another report has come in the press that Indian government also is employing similar method to spy the citizens. It is completely wrong and had to be opposed and stopped.
