Stunned. Angry. Fighting back against NSA spying. | EFFector 26.14

Last night, we received confirmation fromĀ a report in theGuardianĀ that the National Security Agency (NSA) is currently collecting the call records of every Verizon customer in America. The NSA order forces Verizon to provide “on an ongoing daily basis” all call records for any call “wholly within the United States, including local telephone callsā€ and any call made “between the United States and abroad.”

And thatā€™s not all. Today, theĀ Washington PostĀ andĀ theGuardianĀ published reports based on information provided by a career intelligence officer showing how the NSA and the FBI are tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading U.S. Internet companies. The government is extracting audio, video, photographs, e-mails, documents, and connection logs that enable analysts to track a personā€™s movements and contacts over time.
