The NSA and FBI are spying on every American directly through the servers of Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, and Apple, reports the Washington Post. According to top secret documents, the program called PRISM, allows the feds to tap into every email, video or voice chat, video conference, photo, stored data, file transfer, and social networking connection. In addition, the program can alert the feds every time a person logs-in to one of those service providers. The companies deny any knowledge of the program. President Obama’s Director of National Intelligence James Clapper denies using the program to spy on Americans, and instead, said in a written response that it was used to track foreigners.
