Senator implicates top FDA office in agency spying program
Senator Charles Grassley is claiming that the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) conducted widespread surveillance on its own ‘whistleblower’ employees who brought forth concerns about some safety issues.
The extent of the surveillance was extremely broad.
It included placing monitoring software on the individuals desktop computers. The data harvested was screenshots “taken every five seconds,” of anything on the monitor screen, all emails sent and received, any network interactions, any informations stored on the computer or printed from the computer and any and all computer keystrokes.
According to the New York Times, the investigation started with only 5 ‘critics’. It grew into monitor 21 employees who were thought to be putting out anything ‘defamatory’.
