Are our laptops taking pictures of us, our e-mails being read and our laptop data sent to spying agencies?

in #politics7 years ago (edited)

Yahoo has scanned its own users emails for the US Intelligence.
With PRISM, it has been claimed Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple and AOL were aware of the surveillance agency’s collection of data.

"NSA spied on Porn habits"
Yahoo messenger was collecting images from your laptop every 5 seconds
Metadata to identify people..

Biggest absurd is that all these agencies had all the info on 9/11 and yet they did nothing, because mass surveillance gathers a lot of data and no one to understand all of it.
What is the purpose of spying which produces no outcome?
Is this data used by small groups to blackmail certain people if they rise against them?

How long will we allow our liberties being taken from us?
Why do we allow someone to do this to us?
When will we rise up to stop this?

Sort:  

Note that Microsoft is compromised, all of us using Windows are subjected to spying.
