The exposure of the Prism Project has caused a shock among netizens around the world, and American netizens have been even more scolded.

"How can the NSA protect us by abusing its power under the pretext of national security? We need to have law-abiding people take over the Security Service, not just internal operations and investigations. ”

"Even if they were given a day, I'm afraid the NSA wouldn't be able to explain the excessive surveillance of Americans. Americans spying on their own compatriots, which will undoubtedly become a great tragedy in American history, can be written. ”

"I think of 1984, and our every move is under government surveillance, and it's horrible!"

In the face of media and public condemnation, the President of the United States was quick to respond, publicly acknowledging Project Prism, but he said: "This program is not directed at U.S. citizens or people in the United States, is designed to counter terrorism and keep Americans safe, and is authorized by Congress and placed under the supervision of the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court." He also argued: "You can't have 100% privacy and 100% convenience at the same time when you're 100% secure." ”

NSA Director James Clapper said: "Only non-U.S. persons outside the U.S. are the subject of surveillance. Surveillance operations have been subject to rigorous legal scrutiny to minimize the acquisition, retention, and dissemination of accidental information about Americans. Since 2001, secret U.S. surveillance programs such as Prism have helped disrupt more than 50 terrorist plots, including a planned bombing on the New York Stock Exchange. ”

The media and netizens around the world have been scolding the Prism Project, but governments have remained silent and are waiting to see what happens. However, soon governments could not sit still, and as the Prism Gate further fermented, governments, including US allies, discovered that they were also the targets of US government surveillance.

According to documents released by Snowden, the N.S.A. has monitored the phone calls of leaders of 35 organizations and countries, including the European Union, France, Mexico and Brazil. These include German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and others, and the NSA even wiretapped three French presidents between 2006 and 2012, with Chirac, Sarkozy and Hollande all recruited.

At this time, the heads of state of various countries could not sit still, especially the allies of the United States, we are allies, and you actually monitored me and said that I would trust them? First, German Chancellor Angela Merkel personally called *** and asked for an explanation; then the French presidential office issued a communiqué saying that such behavior of the United States is unacceptable. Immediately after that, the French foreign minister urgently summoned the US ambassador to France, who had just taken office, and made clear demands on the United States. Subsequently, the Mexican government issued a statement condemning the U.S. surveillance of former Mexican President Calderón. Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, another leader of the country that was wiretapped, also protested by canceling his visit to the United States.

The protests of the heads of state have not stopped, and the European Union has been involved again. According to the German "Der Spiegel", the NSA monitored the buildings of the European Union's diplomatic missions in Washington and the offices of the United Nations, including listening to the recording of meetings, personnel conversations and telephone conversations, stealing computer documents, and monitoring the content of e-mails. Miniature microphones have been installed in the building. U.S. intelligence agencies also conducted real-time surveillance of communications equipment in the Lipsios building, the headquarters of the European Union, in Brussels.

At this time, the EU could not sit still, and EU officials criticized the United States one after another. German Justice Minister Schnerlenberg said: "It is inconceivable that the United States should regard the EU as an enemy, and it is simply a repetition of the Cold War." Luxembourg's Foreign Minister Asselborn said: "EU diplomats are not terrorists, and the United States must immediately stop eavesdropping." ”

European Parliament President Martin Scholz also expressed shock at the incident: "We also need more detailed information, if this is true, this is a big scandal, which will seriously shock US-EU relations." Brock, chairman of the European Parliament's Foreign Relations Committee, also criticized: "This is intolerable! The United States, which once claimed to be the land of freedom, has now completely renounced this designation." ”

The exposure of the Prism Project not only disgraced the government, but also the Internet companies listed in the Prism Project have also become rats crossing the street and become the object of high vigilance in some countries.

Google has always liked to advertise "no evil" and put a lot of effort into safety and trust, and Prismgate has ruined this carefully crafted PR image. France and Spain spearheaded the offensive in Europe, ordering Google to revise its policies on collecting user data.

France's data protection regulator, the National Commission on Information and Liberties (CNIL), said Google had violated French law and gave it three months to amend the policy, with chair Isabelle Pierrotan saying: "By the end of July, all governments that are part of the task force will take enforcement action against Google." ”

"Because Google has violated Spanish law, if Google cannot clarify what it uses this data, it will be fined between 40,000 and 300,000 euros," the Spanish Data Protection Authority said. ”

A spokesperson for Germany's data protection regulator said: "Google will be questioned about this allegation at a hearing in a German court next weekend. ”

Just when European countries are shouting at Google, WikiLeaks founder Assange also said through video at the 19th International Symposium on Electronic Arts: "Google is actually a minion of the US government, and it can do things that the CIA can't." At the same time, Assange also noted: "It is no coincidence that Jared Cohen, the head of Google's creative division, was an adviser to the previous two secretaries of state, Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice. ”

Google finally couldn't sit still, and the public skepticism and the big stick wielded by governments had seriously affected the company's business interests, so they launched a public relations offensive in the hope of recovering the impact. In an interview with The Guardian, Google's chief legal counsel, Drummond, defended: "Google is not complicit in NAS and did not let it into the servers; Google urges governments to use laws to regulate the collection of personal data so that users around the world can use the Internet with confidence. ”

However, no one was convinced by Google's justification, and everyone took Google's justification as a joke.

When Google exited China in 2010, it touted the company's "no evil" credo, saying it would never compromise with the Chinese government, which monitors user information. Just a few days before the Prism Gate outbreak, Schmidt, Google's executive chairman, vowed at a shareholder meeting that Google would not return to the Chinese market because it was fed up with such things as monitoring users.

Now that Project Prism has been exposed, Google joined Project Prism in 2009 to provide server backdoors to the U.S. government to help the U.S. government monitor Internet data in the name of U.S. national security.

Chinese netizens sneered at Google's duplicitous behavior: "Since Google left the Chinese market because it didn't want to do evil, shouldn't it stick to its core values and withdraw from the American market this time?"

"Google, fed up with censorship, didn't resolutely withdraw from the U.S. market! ”

Of course, I believe that Google is a white lotus, and there are many elites who defend Google, after all, can democratic monitoring be called monitoring, anyway, it is all China's fault: "A bunch of poor worms, the US government monitors for the safety of the American people, and the chicken country monitors for the rule of the crotch to prevent the people from rebelling." ”

"The United States puts the darkness behind it, once it is exposed, the global uproar, China puts the darkness on the table, I am the green skin, who am I afraid of!"

Google's troubles are far from over, as security researchers at Bluebox Security Labs have unveiled their discovery that Android has a four-year-old vulnerability that allows hackers to modify an app's APK without having to break the cryptographic signature used for authentication. In other words, malware will allow hackers to remotely obtain information about an infected device and take control of its features, such as calls and messages, all without the device user, Google, or the app developer noticing.

This discovery made the prism door this fire began to burn to Android, the vulnerability has existed for 4 years, but Google has not modified, it is likely to be a deliberate backdoor, hackers who know the backdoor, they can modify mainstream applications around the world and different regions at will, and then steal information, and these behaviors are almost undetected, because the signatures are exactly the same.

Two days later, WikiLeaks released a batch of documents detailing the collective participation of nine major American companies in the Prism program. Even Fly, who was not involved in Prismgate, is involved in the documents that came to light, but the U.S. government sometimes asks Fly to provide an email or IP address for an account. Sometimes Fly will refuse, but if the other party is coming with a court order, Fly will still provide information.

Originally, Fly was sought after by netizens from all over the world because he did not participate in the Prism Project, but now everyone has found that Fly will still leak personal information to the US government, and many netizens said that they are very disappointed.

In the face of netizens' questions, Bai Yunfei said: "In just half a year, U.S. government agencies and security agencies have asked Fly for user data hundreds of times, including the information of nearly 1,000 Fly users and devices in the United States. Fly's legal department rigorously reviewed each request and ultimately submitted only a small portion of the information to the U.S. government. At the same time, Bai Yunfei also said: "Starting from the second half of this year, Fly will release a transparency report, announcing the government's request for user information, the government's request to retract information, and the copyright owner's request to remove infringing content." ”

In fact, the document released by WikiLeaks was provided by Bai Yunfei, and the content about Fly could have been deleted, but Bai Yunfei did not delete it, but put the content of Fly at the front of the entire document. When netizens look at these documents, the first thing they see is the content of Fly.

The reason why Fly does this is to protect itself through self-decontamination, and according to normal logic, no company will expose its own black material. The documents released by WikiLeaks have embroiled Fly in the prism gate, and neither the US government nor conspiracy theorists would have thought that the information was provided by Fly.

Fly rolled the prism door and was questioned by some netizens, but it is not the focus of everyone's attention, after all, Fly's little thing is not a matter at all compared to what Microsoft and Google have done. Google has the most black material in the documents released by WikiLeaks, and Android is also involved in prism gate as a matter of course.

According to documents provided by WikiLeaks, NSA programmers submitted a piece of code written by the NSA to Google and put it on Android. Almost all Android-based phones, tablets, and other devices contain this code written by the NSA. This code itself is not monitored, it cannot directly monitor the phone, nor does it save the information in the phone, but leaves a permission, which can load the code of third-party monitoring and monitor the work through the code. This piece of code will not be easily discovered, and if it does, it will only be considered a system vulnerability, and it is a very minor system vulnerability.

After the code written by the NSA in the Android system was exposed, it caused a shocking wave around the world. A lot of people are asking the question, is my phone safe, is Android safe?

Just as Zhang Ran hoped, the fire of the prism door completely ignited Android!
