U.S. weighs disclosure

 Reuters:

"That law enables an Internet surveillance program known as Prism that was first disclosed in a series of leaks by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden nearly three years ago.

Prism gathers messaging data from Alphabet Inc's Google , Facebook Inc, Microsoft Corp, Apple Inc and other major tech companies that is sent to and from a foreign target under surveillance.

Intelligence officials say data about Americans is "incidentally" collected during communication with a target reasonably believed to be living overseas. Critics see it as back-door surveillance of Americans without a warrant."
