history of US surveillance
== How Google & Co are a threat to Democracy ==
 
Google was caught red-handed participating in NSA’s surveillance, which is both illegal under the U.S. constitutional framework*, and conducive to a totalitarian world where self-censorship under one all-seeing eye prevents alternative futures from flourishing from collaborative creative efforts of individuals.

== How American government got a grip on digital technology == Up into the 80's, all of the technological world attempted its own designs of computers and operating systems, but during the 90's the USA has established a worldwide dominance in operating systems from Microsoft Windows and MacOS to today's Apple iOS and Google Android. While predicating the principles of free market and deregulation to the rest of the world, the US was silently adamant in actually subsidizing technological start-ups well enough to kick other nations out of business. * http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/10/timeline-technology-silicon-valley-government-subsidies* https://techcrunch.com/2014/07/04/the-government-once-built-silicon-valley/ Oracle, the market leader in database technology that produced one of the richest people on the planet, was named after a CIA program. * http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/profit/p27anniv-timeline-151918.pdf The NSA has been collecting more or less all e-mails, phone calls and SMS text messages since the creation of the Internet. In 1995, as the Internet started becoming popular, the US government made a strategic decision to keep total control of digital networking. * https://medium.com/insurge-intelligence/how-the-cia-made-google-e836451a959e "The US was the major player in shaping today's Internet. This resulted in pervasive exportation of American culture as well as technology. It also resulted in a lot of money being made by US entities." * http://hbpub.vo.llnwd.net/o16/video/olmk/holt/greenwald/NoPlaceToHide-Documents-Uncompressed.pdf It is then that the CIA Made financed the research of some Stanford students regarding the PageRank algorithm, essentially funding the creation of Google . With such powerful ability to find needles in the haystack of the web, the secret services also wanted such a tool for all of the e- Insurge Intelligence mails and text messages. Journalist Nafeez Ahmed has researched, how Google empowered the NSA to become the gigantic beast it is today. * https:/ Medium /medium.com/insurge- 2015 ==intelligence/why-google-made-the-nsa-2a80584c9c1 It is no surprise that Silicon Valley companies havea long tradition of friendly collaboration with thesecret services that are among their best customers. * https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-06-14/u-s-agencies-said-to-swap-data-with-thousands-of-firms The impressive effectiveness of the PRISM program isa result of that, but there are earlier cases likeIBM allowing the NSA to have a backdoor in LotusNotes in 1999 or Microsoft being caught with the mysterious _NSAKEY.
Inside the secret network behind mass surveillance, endless war, and Skynet— * http://archive.is/VDOyO* http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/19.52.html#subj1* https://www.heise.de/tp/features/How-NSA-access-was-built-into- Insurge Intelligence Windows-3444341.html* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ MediumNSAKEY

This way Skype became an American company, and got integrated into NSA's PRISM surveillance program.
