The Snowden disclosures revealed several major NSA programs:
PRISM was a program under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Amendments Act through which NSA directly accessed servers of major American internet companies - including Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, YouTube, Skype, AOL, and Apple - to collect communications content. The companies were compelled to provide access under court orders from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC). The disclosures triggered significant legal challenges and the companies' denials or minimizations of their participation, along with subsequent government clarifications about the court-compelled nature of the program.[^1]
