The Obama administration is secretly collecting the phone records of millions of Americans -- and it's been going on for years.
"It is sweeping, it is not what I would expect from the United States," Mark Rumold, an attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said.
In a secret program code-named PRISM, major Internet companies like Microsoft, Apple and Facebook are allowing the NSA and FBI to tap into their central servers to track people.
This latest revelation comes on the heels of a discovery by Britain's The Guardian newspaper that the NSA is collecting telephone records of millions of Verizon customers under a top secret court order.

Dear ATT
Thank you for making the switch from Verizon to you a very seamless effort and one for which I am very grateful. The salinas store rep, Hector, did all the leg and paperwork and in a matter of minutes, I was receiving calls on the new system from my old phone number which I was able to keep.
I hope the relationship will be a long one as I had Verizon over a decade and during that time spent thousands of dollars with them.
Like almost any personal or business relationship, trust is the glue that allows us to continue. I take at face value the statement from Hector that I spoke to my manager and ATT is not at this time routinely handing over your call details, although we cant guarantee that in the future.
Fair enough, given that I now live in a police state. But if it is disclosed that you are currently handing over information on this new account, the 2 year agreement will have been based on fraud and subject to not only cancellation without penalty, but also actionable for damages.
Sincerely,
John Kaza
