	The Guardian further reported in 2013 based on the Snowden disclosures that Microsoft "collaborated closely with US intelligence services to allow users’ communications to be intercepted, including helping the National Security Agency to circumvent the company’s own encryption." Microsoft gave the NSA, FBI, & CIA direct access to illegally record - in mass amounts, indiscriminately - the private emails, chats, cloud storage, and Skype videos of its users. Skype itself was explicitly part of the NSA's Mass Surveillance PRISM program, even before Microsoft's purchase.<ref>http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jul/11/microsoft-nsa-collaboration-user-data</reF>		The Guardian further reported in 2013 based on the Snowden disclosures that Microsoft "collaborated closely with US intelligence services to allow users’ communications to be intercepted, including helping the National Security Agency to circumvent the company’s own encryption."

			=== Spying on Environmentalists ===

			As journalist [[Nafeez Ahmed]] reported following the disclosure of PRISM in August of 2013:

			<blockquote>Why have Western security agencies developed such an unprecedented capacity to spy on their own domestic populations? Since the 2008 economic crash, security agencies have increasingly spied on political activists, especially environmental groups, on behalf of corporate interests. This activity is linked to the last decade of US defence planning, which has been increasingly concerned by the risk of civil unrest at home triggered by catastrophic events linked to climate change, energy shocks or economic crisis — or all three.<ref>https://grist.org/politics/is-the-nsa-surveillance-program-really-about-spying-on-environmentalists/</ref></blockquote>

			And in line with the NSA's privatization, many of the U.S.' biggest corporate polluters such as [[Walmart]], [[Coca-Cola]], [[Bank of America]], [[McDonalds]], [[Shell Oil]], [[Nestle]], [[Bayer-Monsanto]], [[Dow Chemical]], [[Kraft]], [[Chevron]], [[Burger King]], & [[British Petroleum]] also "employ former CIA, NSA and FBI agents to engage in private surveillance work, which is often illegal in nature, but rarely, if ever, prosecuted."<ref>https://www.sustainablebusiness.com/2014/02/environmentalists-caught-in-nsa-spy-web-52164/</ref>

	The NSA's $5 billion Project Groundbreaker, managed by Booz Allen, was the "largest intelligence outsourcing project ever undertaken by the IC" to outsource, rebuild, and operate the NSA's internal telephone and computer network. Undertaken in 2001, more than one thousand NSA employees were transferred from the government to the private sector to work for projects contractors such as [[Computer Sciences Corporation]] (CSC), [[Northrop Grumman]], and Microsoft, receiving monetary incentives to hire NSA employees.
