Separating truth from the myths about the Prism Program
The PRISM program aims to gain direct access to user communication. The information includes email communication, voice calls, SMS, social media communications, metadata, video calls, search preferences, etc. The constitution governs this unlimited access to information by the NSA through the PRISM program.
Section 702 of the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Acts), which became law in 2008, allows the Prism Program to access Tech Companies’ servers directly. Since then, the United States government has drastically increased intelligent bodies’ ability to gain local and foreign information.
The intelligent bodies can investigate the retrieved information targeting terrorists, criminals, and even those not suspected of anything. Formerly, the NSA could not obtain information from people outside of the USA.
However, that has changed with the formation of the PRISM program. It does not matter what you do, where you live, or whether you commit a crime; the NSA can access your personal information.
