New documents published in The Guardian reveal that the NSA can snoop on you in real time--and that the agency is building a giant keyword-based database of everything connected to the Internet, including Word and Excel docs on users' hard drives. Sometimes life seems a lot like dystopian science fiction. Case in point: The latest Edward Snowden revelation published by Glenn Greenwald in The Guardian. Leaked documents indicate that the National Security Agency has a secret program called XKeyscore, which "collects nearly everything a user does on the Internet" in near-real time. According to Greenwald's piece, XKeyscore can be used on anyone--NSA analysts require no authorization to use it on a target--and once put in place, it tracks a user's emails, social media activity, and browsing history. Training materials for XKeyscore published in The Guardian give the scoop: Analysts do not require warrants or on-paper authorization from superiors, they only have to fill in a simple on-screen form to set it up for an individual target. Once put into place, it functions as a hybrid analytics platform and massive database that allows NSA analysts to track the contents of targets' Facebook messages and feeds, their emails, Google searches, and much more.Read Full Story Continue reading at 'Fast Company'
