PRISM and the mass surveillance network
PRISM is the code name for a secret cyber-surveillance and data-collection program launched in 2007 by the United States National Security Agency (NSA). It operated under the legal framework of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and gained global notoriety in June 2013 after being leaked by former analyst c.

How PRISM WorksThrough classified court orders issued by the FISA Court, the NSA compelled major US technology companies (including Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, Apple, Skype, and AOL) to hand over collected user data.

While it did not grant direct, unrestricted access to servers like a conventional hack, the program allowed agencies to request and extract:















  • Emails and text chats.
  • Voice and video calls (VoIP).
  • Connection histories, uploaded files (photos, documents), and metadata.
The Mass Surveillance NetworkThe concept of mass surveillance refers to the systematic, untargeted, and large-scale monitoring of entire populations or large groups of users without requiring individual reasonable suspicion or warrants. PRISM was just one component within a broader global network run by the US and its international allies:

  • Privacy Debate: The disclosures proved that ordinary citizens were routinely swept up in mass surveillance nets.
  • Widespread Encryption: Major web platforms and services adopted default HTTPS protocols and end-to-end encryption to mitigate interception.
  • Legal Reforms: Led to legislative changes, such as the 2015 USA FREEDOM Act, which aimed to curb the bulk collection of phone records.
