| #4 Yeah, and tape over your builtin webcam. If the school districts can spy on you and your government issued computer, then this can too. |

| #2 If Prism only collects metadata on U.S. citizens, why doesn't the NSA simply use Spokeo? There is a wealth of metadata collected. For a fee, you can obtain email address, phone #'s, websites used frequently or visited, social network info such as Facebook and others, communities and blogging sites used, occupation, age, possible related family members, address, previous owners, neighborhood profile, house characteristics and value, aerial photos of your house, photos and videos posted on the net, etc. Probably, the difference between SPOKEO and PRISM is that PRISM might have the ability to collect data in real-time. |

| #1 The author has a good knowledge of the PRISM architecture but admits to not know the actual system/software level protocols that do the real time data exchange. Those protocols are most likely DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) or NetDDE or COM). (Link) |
