Spy program shows just how well US knows its people


The US government is watching every digital move that Americans make. More than 115
million people use Verizon's cell phone service in the US, making billions of calls every
year. A top-secret document revealed this week shows that the US government, through the
National Security Agency, is collecting the details of every single one of those calls on a
daily basis. To make matters worse, The Washington Post and The Guardian newspapers
today claimed that the NSA also has direct access to the search history, email and even live
chats of all customers of the world's biggest technology firms, including Google, Apple and Facebook.
By turning over what surely amounts to billions of call logs to the US government, Verizon is enabling what is
likely to be the broadest surveillance scheme in history. And the likelihood is that it is not the only one.
