Thanks spyware program, developed in 2007, exploration received data on location, age, gender and even sexual preferences of ordinary British and Americans, recognizes The New York Times referring to fresh incriminating documents Edward Snowden. Since then the system has been improved and allowed to hack into the accounts of the owners of smartphones in mobile applications, Facebook, Flickr, LinkedIn and Twitter, the newspaper said. Exploration in all of this got access to address books, lists of "friends", records about calls and geographical markers in social networks. The scale and feature similar surveillance is not yet clear, but experts say that access to this information is rather to identify sexual orientation and political opinion of the user and, based on these data, to be vigilant surveillance. Information on surveillance with the help of one of the most famous games in the U.S. was seen as "the fall of the last Bastion of freedom" - just so he called it 1 of journalists, who demanded izjasni during the briefing in the White house. In response, the official representative of the White house Jay Carney announced that NSA collects data only on alleged terrorists and other criminals who play Angry Birds, RIA "Novosti". "We do not collect information about ordinary Americans. I can't discuss specific details of data collection, but the Agency of state security is involved only those people to spy on which there are important reasons," he said, and not reversing the precedent of espionage through the mobile application. At the same time, the United States authorities on the wave of spy scandal has already made some concessions and allowed Internet companies to advertise information about requests of the special services, which deal with data access subscribers.

The impetus for the adoption of this decision became not so long ago the President of the United States Barack Obama, who urged the security forces to limit razvedennom. For example, the leader of the country banned the surveillance of the leaders of those States, which the United States believes allies. Moreover, multiple requests NSA complained almost all large Internet companies. Representatives Of Microsoft, Google, Apple, Yahoo!, Twitter and Facebook said that users abandon their servants, afraid of surveillance, which, according to reliable information of Snowden, special services are doing with their consent. The company has not recognized these accusations and addressed the authorities with a demand to stop the use of spyware.
