U.S. intelligence mining data from nine U.S. Internet companies in broad secret program - The Washington Post

The National Security Agency and the FBI are tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading U.S. Internet companies, extracting audio and video chats, photographs, e-mails, documents, and connection logs that enable analysts to track one target or trace a whole network of associates, according to a top-secret document obtained by The Washington Post.

The program, code-named PRISM, has not been made public until now. It may be the first of its kind. The NSA prides itself on stealing secrets and breaking codes, and it is accustomed to corporate partnerships that help it divert data traffic or sidestep barriers. But there has never been a Google or Facebook before, and it is unlikely that there are richer troves of valuable intelligence than the ones in Silicon Valley.

Equally unusual is the way the NSA extracts what it wants, according to the document: "Collection directly from the servers of these U.S. Service Providers: Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, Apple.





Now China has a legitimate reason to ban US internet firms via its Great Firewall :tsk:

Wonder how India feels about its citizens being spied on at will by the United States?

Who would you rather get spied on? The Americans, who use drones to kill 16-year-old kids, or the Chinese, who torture you to death?

Or maybe it was the Americans that torture you to death and the Chinese that use drones to kill drug smugglers.

I forget.

You alone as an individual, might not be worth tracking. But India is made up of hundreds of millions of individuals like you, when every one of you is tapped into the Internet controlled by someone else, it means they have unlimited access to your world.

It is no exaggeration to say that Internet applications like Google and Facebook are the most efficient information gathering tools people have ever created.

Understood.

Anyhow, I wouldn't be surprised if they were.

The point is, every nation commits faults, but the open question should not be whether one nation is somehow cleaner than the other - it is about how, as a whole, we ought to advance humanity to a point where *everyone* is living more comfortably, by keeping all governments on their toes.

Governments are merely the vehicles to provide human beings with natural rights - and never conflate love of one's country with blind allegiance to one's government or military.

Then your understanding of Internet portals like Facebook and Google are very superficial and naive.

Facebook is much more capable than you can imagine.

Android is an open-source protocol, so anyone can maintain the central servers for data - the central servers for data moving on Chinese Android OS are kept in Beijing, with access restricted to Chinese government entities. Of course, any information flowing from China to India has to transit Singapore anyhow, where the US (and China and Russia, since Singapore is an open city) has access to it.

No one gives a shit about the rights of ordinary people in the world, even if they claim to do so.

All that government entities get concerned about is when other people are spying on people only they are allowed to spy on. It's like a domestic abuser being mad at someone else giving his wife a pass.

I'm not talking about data servers maintained by Chinese govt. I'm talking about info collected by Google through android phones.Of course not talking about forked versions of android like alibaba. Talking about android powered phones with playstore+bundled google apps.

This is what Americans get for their complacency, and they deserve nothing less. These are the same people who didn't care when the Patriot Act went into law (and still ongoing.) Try to do that in other western countries and you will have rioting on the streets.

The reason China hacks Google and America doesn't is because the NSA can just call Google and asks for the data it wants
