The National Security Agency and FBI have been engaging in a highly classified program that mines data from leading U.S. internet companies, according to a bombshell report in The Washington Post Thursday night.
The program is code-named PRISMand the Post reports that it was established in 2007. According to the report, the nine companies that "participate knowingly" in the program are Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, Apple.
The program has not been disclosed publicly, and is only being disclosed now after whistleblower revealed the program to the Post because of "horror" at its capabilities.
"They quite literally can watch your ideas form as you type," said the whistleblower, described as a career intelligence officer, in a truly harrowing quote.

Holy God.
The world has changed. We are so screwed.
USA = Airstrip One
It isn’t mining data to enforce laws. It’s to trap innocent people who post things that the feds don’t like. That way they don’t have to put themselves in danger going after real, violent criminals. They just have to arrest innocent people and proclaim that the arrest numbers are up.
It’s time to learn telepathy as far as privacy is concerned. The problem is that terrorists and other criminals may use it too.
It’s data mining to trip up people 20 years in the future. It’s preserved forever.
Who knows what political thoughts will be illegal in 20 years.
Well...
Somebody will have to stop those Conservatives.
Any conservative candidate 20 years from now will have all his current teenage scriblings and porn selections made available to the media.
As feared, this gets worse and worse, not unexpectedly.
If the average American accepts this, it is simply all over. Forget banana republic, the US has gone straight to fascism.
Any conservatives children will be denied medical care, schooling and ultimately food. Based on writings 20 years in the past.
Not just ‘Conservatives’. Ultimately this will be used on the left’s political enemies.
If you think it’s just ‘us’ they’re watching...LOL. Wonder what kind of dirt they have on the Kennedys. Or the Clintons. Or any other prominent dems.
And you know they know exactly which kids Sandusky molested and anyone else that participated as well.
Wonder what, exactly, they have on Roberts.
IRS
DOJ
Prism
Add to his lies!
Rat in corner
More shoes to come?
Hmmmmm, started in 2007. That means GWB was President. But I HOPE someone will point out that, as of January 2007, the Dems were in charge of the House and the Senate!
Well they are dimocrats and vote for dimocrats and the government is communist dimocrats.
That would explain quite a few of their decisions wouldn't it?
I can’t imagine a closet big enough for the shoes we ALREADY have collected.
Don't forget that (ahem) "medical treatment" a couple of weeks after the fling with that Free Spirit in Abnormal Psych class back in 2017.
