I suppose I was a bit too vague with my post, what I meant was that after 9/11 the UK & US passed new laws where ISPs had to install black boxes on their servers and keep a record of everything for (I think it was 5 years)
So basically any intelligence agency had access to all this information anyway, it's just with this project PRISM it's taken it to a whole new level because it makes it so much easier for them to get direct access to the info they want or need.
I mean these laws where passed before Facebook, Gmail, Twitter existed - You know back when people still actually gave a shit about their privacy, when people where up in arms about Government proposed National ID cards etc around 2003 - 2005
