The National Security Agency has obtained direct access to the systems of Google,
Facebook, Apple and other US internet giants, according to a top secret document
obtained by the Guardian.
The program facilitates extensive, in-depth surveillance on live
communications and stored information. The law allows for the
targeting of any customers of participating firms who live outside the
US, or those Americans whose communications include people outside
the US.
It also opens the possibility of communications made entirely within
the US being collected without warrants.
The participation of the internet companies in PRISM will add to the debate, ignited by
the Verizon revelation, about the scale of surveillance by the intelligence services.
Unlike the collection of those call records, this surveillance can include the content of
communications and not just the metadata.
