On June 5, 2013, the world learned a terrifying truth: the U.S. government was secretly collecting the digital lives of millions of Americans. Emails. Phone calls. Searches. Photos. All harvested through a classified NSA surveillance program called PRISM.

In this episode of American Scandal Report by Skoob, host OZ Dalton breaks down how Edward Snowden exposed the largest mass surveillance operation in history — and how Silicon Valley giants like Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and Verizon became silent partners in government spying.

We uncover how secret courts legalized warrantless surveillance, how the NSA gained direct access to private data, and why PRISM was never really shut down — only rebranded. More than a decade later, surveillance has expanded through AI, facial recognition, and data profiling, raising urgent questions about privacy, freedom, and who’s really watching.

This is the true story of PRISM, Edward Snowden, the NSA, and how America quietly became a surveillance state.
