The U.S. government has a copy of almost all e-mails in the United States are sent or received. At least that is what William Binney says in an interview. Binney is a former employee of the National Security Agency (NSA), the U.S. intelligence.  The headquarters of the NSA in Maryland.

Binney is considered one of the best mathematicians and code breakers that the NSA has ever had. He decided in 2001, however the service to leave when he saw that the NSA the September 11 attacks as an excuse to seize wanted people to spy on their own. According Binney was the program to all kinds of data to collect never intended for domestic use, but now it is already more than ten years. The program is so immense that it is an "Orwellian state" can create.

Binney explains in the interview, then how the program works. The software can intercept everything, whether it be text messages, phone calls or e-mails. Based on these profiles are automatically built from each person in the text or conversation occurs. Partly for that builds the NSA currently a storage center for data with a free plate of two billion dollars. The data center is greater than what technology giants Google and Apple have ever built, and can store up to 100 years to communication.

I had read that Apple keeps all data send by their devices.
