Project Prism was a classified surveillance program conducted by the United States' National Security Agency (NSA) in collaboration with other intelligence agencies, including the FBI and CIA. The program was revealed to the public in 2013 through disclosures made by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
Prism involved the collection and analysis of vast amounts of electronic communications data, including emails, chat records, video calls, and file transfers from major technology companies such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, and others. The program operated under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which allowed the NSA to target non-U.S. persons located outside the United States for foreign intelligence purposes.
The revelation of Project Prism sparked widespread controversy and debate over government surveillance, privacy rights, and the balance between national security and civil liberties. Critics argued that Prism's activities raised serious concerns about mass surveillance and the potential for privacy violations. In response to public outcry, there were calls for increased transparency and reforms to surveillance laws and practices.
