"What have you done?"
"The secret program known as P.R.I.S.M.
Allows the NSA to tap directly
Into the central servers of nine
Internet companies, including; Microsoft,
Apple, Google and Facebook.
Allowing the agency to collect material
Such as email messages, file transfers,
Audio and video files and search histories."
"One illegally published item says
The NSA intercepted equipment like
Internet routers on it's way to
Customers. The agency installed
Hardware to monitor communications
For the group."
"But the surveillance has gone so far
Beyond that, that motives which were
Difficult to discern, they think are
Less important than the mere fact
That the system has been built
Without our knowledge, that has
Incredible dangers embedded within it
But very few controls"
"I had to get out of there because they
Were using a program that I built
To do the nest-egg spying. I didn't want
Any part of it. I didn't want to be
Associated with it. I looked at is as
Fiscal treason. It was subverting
The constitution."
"No place to hide"
"We asked people to report on
The degree in which they've
Actually modified their behaviour
In response to these revelations
And significant proportions said
That they are. About 28% said
That they had curtailed or avoided
Social media activities.
24% said that they're avoiding
Certain subjects in telephone
Or email conversations.
And 16% said that they'd actually
Steered away from tackling
Particular topics in their writing
Because of concern of
Government surveillance."
