发帖数: 2300 | 1 Separately, The Washington Post and The Guardian reported Thursday the
existence of another program used by the NSA and FBI that scours the nation'
s main Internet companies, extracting audio, video, photographs, emails,
documents and connection logs to help analysts track a person's movements
and contacts. It was not clear whether the program, called PRISM, targets
known suspects or broadly collects data from other Americans.
The companies include Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL,
Skype, YouTube and Apple. The Post said PalTalk has had numerous posts about
the Arab Spring and the Syrian civil war. It also said Dropbox would soon
be included.
Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Microsoft and Apple said in statements that they do
not provide the government with direct access to their records.
"When Facebook is asked for data or information about specific individuals,
we carefully scrutinize any such request for compliance with all applicable
laws, and provide information only to the extent required by law," the
company said. |
