The National Security Agency has obtained direct access to the systems of Google, Facebook, Apple and other US internet giants, according to a top secret document obtained by the Guardian.
The NSA access is part of a previously undisclosed program called PRISM, which allows them to collect material including search history, the content of emails, file transfers and live chats, the document says.

The reality is that the vast majority have absolutely nothing to fear. Let's face it, most people are receiving spam, Facebook updates where somebody you barely know posts something inconsequential and nobody gives a rats, an e-mail from e-bay or Amazon about something you don't want, the odd family e-mail and generally absolutely nothing of interest.
Are they going to be targeted? Highly unlikely.
But the person who visits all sort of dodgy people in dodgy countries may. That's probably doing everybody a favour. If it catches criminals then that's great. If it deters people from crime, great.
Britain is watched everywhere by CCTV but as everybody knows it's no big deal. This is no different.

This is news ? anyone that didn't think this has not been happening since 1984 needs to get out a bit more !
Do you mean since reading 1984 or the actual year... But yes, it is no shock that in the land of the free they do such things. I bet they would be calling it oppressive in other nations...
