But in 2013, a programme of data collection using extensive internet and phone surveillance by American intelligence was disclosed to the public by Edward Snowden, an NSA contractor-turned whistle-blower.
A Washington Post analysis of the Snowden leak found some 90% of those being monitored were ordinary Americans "caught in a net the National Security Agency had cast for somebody else".
Top officials had until then denied - and even lied under oath to Congress - that they were knowingly collecting such data.
The programme, known as Prism, was later ruled unlawful by a US court.

Lawmakers allege 'secret' CIA spying on unwitting Americans
Spy agencies are conducting "warrantless backdoor searches" of Americans, two Democrat senators say.
Since September 11th, 2001, the United States government has dramatically increased the ability of its intelligence agencies to collect and investigate information on both foreign subjects and US citizens. Some of these surveillance programs, including a secret program called PRISM, capture the private data of citizens who are not suspected of any connection to terrorism or any wrongdoing.
In June of 2013 a private contractor working for Booz Allen Hamilton leaked classified presentation slides that detailed the existence and the operations of PRISM: a mechanism that allows the government to collect user data from companies like Microsoft, Google, Apple, Yahoo, and others.

Sex with women and girls, however, was by no means the only or even principal tool Epstein was using to cultivate relationships with the ultra-rich. The vast majority of the people mentioned in the recent Wall Street Journal reports are not suspected of having partaken in the massages, sex and orgies Epstein proffered, yet Epstein curried favor with them in other ways.

The sex-trafficking operation Epstein ran was, in this sense, a kind of tool he leveraged as part of his larger operations to acquire financial clients and establish relationships. It allowed him to monetize his own proclivities and those of selected clients.
As one person familiar with Epstein and his operations explained anonymously to the Guardian, “If you invested money with him, he’d get you laid. They were young girls with no contacts, who they [potential investors] had no ability to meet. It was like a dating service and the girls were like the candy on a stick.”

Mutual favors and “finder’s fees”
He was essential, for example, in hooking up the billionaire Glenn Dubin with Jes Staley, an executive of JPMorgan Chase and close confidant of Epstein. For this role, Epstein reportedly received a “finder’s fee” of $15 million for his role in brokering the sale of Dubin’s Highbridge Capital to JPMorgan Chase. Highbridge Capital oversees several billion dollars’ worth of assets, including GFL Environmental, one of the largest waste management companies in Canada, and the Danaher Corporation, a Washington D.C.-based industrial and biotechnology conglomerate.
