A Firefox Add-on that provides a soundtrack for our surveilled internet meanderings.
"Dark Side of the Prism" uses Pink Floyd's aural prism (Dark Side of the Moon) as a playlist to the NSA's tracking efforts, serving as an auditory reminder of how our online activities are surveilled.
When visiting any URLs that have been (publicly) targeted by Prism, a small notification will appear alerting that this site is being surveilled. You will then be presented with an ethereal Pink Floyd track from the "Dark Side of the Moon" album.

Facebook was quite proud to claim that they were the first company to reveal information related to FISA. This is what Google is doing.
