Sometime
ago we had thought that our data on social networking sites and other private
data stored on mails and clouds is being watched by US.
The thought was real, as a new secret document has proven the
existence of a US government program that grants NSA (National Security Agency)
and FBI direct access to the servers of Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Skype,
Yahoo, Apple and other internet companies, from where they can extract any user
information at their will.
This program is named as PRISM, which was sanctioned by President Bush in 2007, which is now
renewed again by President Obama in December 2012.
Under this
program, tech giants gave direct access to its servers to US government
agencies, through which they can view any information they want, without any difficulty.
The
information that NSA can access may include your emails, chats, search history,
images, videos, skype calls (even the content of skype calls), YouTube videos
(even those which are private), files that are stored in your computer, as well as call
records of smartphones, SMS, MMS, places you visit and much more.
