ibm650 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Last week the Washington Post received documents showing that the NSA violated privacy rules around 3,000 times in a twelve month period. Now there are newly declassified documents showing that the NSA actually paid out millions to Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and Facebook to cover their expenses while aiding in the PRISM surveillance project. This is the first piece of material to show a financial connection between the government and the tech companies.On Wednesday the Obama administration declassified an October 2011 judgment by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court that found the NSA's inability to separate domestic communications from foreign traffic violated the Fourth Amendment. This led to a new certification process for the technology companies involved in the PRISM surveillance, and an added compliance cost that, by law, must be funded by the taxpayer.http://www.tomsguide.com/us/nsa-google-microsoft-yahoo-prism,news-17438.html#xtor=EPR-8886 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
