WATCHING THE WORLD THROUGH “PRISM”
PRISM is a clandestine mass electronic surveillance data mining program known to have been operated by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) since 2007. The Prism program collects stored Internet communications based on demands made to Internet companies such as Google Inc. under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to turn over any data that match court-approved search terms. The NSA can use these Prism request to target communications that were encrypted when they travelled across the Internet backbone, to focus on stored data that telecommunication filtering system discarded earlier, and to get data that is easier to handle, among other things.
EVERYTHING WAS GOING FINE FOR THE UNITED STATES(U.S.) AND THE NSA TILL MAY 2013. WHEN EDWARD SNOWDEN DISCLOSED THAT HE IS IN POSSESSION WITH 1.7 MILLION SECRET DOCUMENTS OF NSA AND STARTED DISCLOSING THEM PERIODICALLY, IT REVEALED THE TRUE FACE OF U.S. TO THE WORLD. THE COUNTRY WAS NOT ONLY DOING SURVILLENCE THAT WAS ALLOWED BY ITS CONSTITUTION BUT WAS ALSO OPERATING BEYOND THAT. UNCLE SAM SURVEYED EVERY INCOMING AND OUTGOING CALL, TEXT, EMAIL AND BANK TRANSACTION WHICH INVOLVED U.S., IT HAD ALSO DONE SURVILLENCE ON ITS 5 STRATEGIC PARTNER(COUNTRIES) AND 35 MAJOR LEADERS OF THE WORLD.
WE CAN HAVE DIFFERENT OPINION ON THIS SITUATION WHICH CAN BE EITHER IN FAVOUR OR AGAINST IT. SOME PEOPLE THINK SURVILLENCE IS FINE AS IT WILL PROTECT THEM FROM TERRORISM WHILE OTHER CONSIDERS IT AS A DAGGER IN CHEST ON THEIR PRIVACY. ACCORDING TO MY VIEWS, THIS TYPE OF SURVILLENCE BY U.S. COULD HAVE A COUNTERACTION FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. IF EVERY COUNTRY STARTS FOLLOWING U.S. SO CALLED “SURVELLIANCE POLICY”, THEN IT WILL NOT ONLY BE A DRAIN ON THEIR RESOURCES BUT ALSO THEIR WOULD NOTHING REMAIN THAT CAN BE CALLED SOMEONE’S CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. THE SITUATION HAS OTHER SIDE ALSO, IF THIS SURVILLENCE IS NOT DONE, THEN TERRORIST CAN EASILY EXCHANGE INFORMATION AND MONEY
