Who's listening? 

" Any society that will give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and loose both."  Benjamin Franklin 

Due to the attacks of September 11, 2001  PRISM was created under the presidency of George W. Bush. The government of the United States took the decision of 
improving the security of all citizens however at the same time they are violating the 4th amendment to keep us safe.
 


The NSA allows the Government of the United States to have direct access to systems that we constantly use like Google, Facebook and apple. The NSA access is part of a new program that I'm sure most of us did not have knowledge of it. The undisclosed program called Prism. This  program allows officials  to collect materials including  search history, e-mails, phone calls and Facebook data.

They record most of calls made in the United states  including telephone number of  phones making and receiving the call listed but not what the call contains. They also record instant messages unknown people via Prism  which  involve the cooperation of at least nine 



Why is PRISM a big deal? Who is responsible of PRISM?

Both the companies and the government insist that date only collected with court approval and specific targets. PRISM is said to merely be streamlined system varying between companies that allows them to expedite court-approved date collection request. Because there are a few technical details  about how PRISM operates, and because of the fact that court operates in secret, critics are concerned about the extent of the program and whether it violates the constitutional right of US citizen.
