The National Security Agency (NSA) and FBI have had direct access to secretly servers tech giants like Microsoft, Google, Apple or Facebook from those who have obtained user data that allow them to analyze and control their movements and contacts, according to a document provided with access to The Washington Post and The Guardian. Both newspapers agree that all companies knowingly cooperated in this initiative which has been in development since 2007, though the companies named have denied knowledge of it. The information reveals a new extension of secret surveillance practices of the Government of the United States, in full disclosure dispute control of thousands of records ordered by the Administration calls the phone company Verizon.
The secret program that allegedly involved the intelligence agencies and nine major Internet companies-Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube and Apple-was dubbed PRISM, according to information from both newspapers and had never been made public before. "Members of Congress who knew of the program were bound by oath not to reveal anything about their existence," says the Post. "PRISM allows the NSA to collect the contents of the emails, the files sent or chat conversations," says The Guardian. The Washington Post also includes "audios, videos and photographs", in the package of elements that could be investigated.
The Obama administration has defended the effectiveness of PRISM through the Director of National Intelligence, the highest office in the U.S. espionage. In a statement, James Clapper said that under U.S. law, the system is only used for information of foreign citizens residing outside the United States. According to the Associated Press, Clapper said that the disclosure of the program by the press is an act "reprehensible" that "endangers" the security of Americans. Still, noted the head of intelligence, the NSA has decided to declassify some details of the program to "help Americans understand it better."
The statement stresses that access to the data collected from the servers of Internet companies is completely legal, at no time threatened the privacy of U.S. citizens and was made with knowledge of Congress. "Data collection is conducted in accordance with procedures approved by the Court Foreign Intelligence Surveillance to ensure that only sought information on non-US citizens outside our borders and minimize the extent of the retention and dissemination of American obtained accidentally ".
U.S. law allows you to collect information from enterprise customers residing outside the country or of Americans whose communications include people who are not in U.S. territory. In other cases, court permission is required, with specific exceptions contained in section 702 of the Law of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance is operating under the PRISM.
According to a report in the hands of both newspapers, quoted companies, nine of the most powerful companies in Silicon Valley, were aware of and consented to favor the government access to their servers. However, shortly after the two articles were published, Microsoft, Apple and Facebook have issued separate statements in defending the rigor of its privacy policies, deny having allowed the U.S. government access to their data and ensure the program ignore PRISM. "We do not provide direct access to our servers to any agency of the Government and if you want to request information from any of our customers, they need a court order," says Apple. Google is the only company that responded to the requirements of the Post and The Guardian. The seeker rejects "being the back door by which the Government access to the private data of users."
PRISM, according to the Post, has become the most useful tool when NSA prepare daily reports referred to the president. "The NSA increasingly rely on PRISM", shown in the document, PowerPoint presentation, mentioning both newspapers.
