WikiLeaks: The Spy Files Mass interception of entire populations is not only a reality, it is a secret new industry spanning 25 countries It sounds like something out of Hollywood, but as of today, mass interception systems, built by Western intelligence contractors, including for ’political opponents’ are a reality. Today WikiLeaks began releasing a database of hundreds of documents from as many as 160 intelligence contractors in the mass surveillance industry. Working with Bugged Planet and Privacy International, as well as media organizations form six countries – ARD in Germany, The Bureau of Investigative Journalism in the UK, The Hindu in India, L’Espresso in Italy, OWNI in France and the Washington Post in the U.S.
Wikileaks is shining a light on this secret industry that has boomed since September 11, 2001 and is worth billions of dollars per year. But the WikiLeaks Spy Files are more than just about ’good Western countries’ exporting to ’bad developing world countries’. Chapter 72: Security and anti-terrorism laws. In this chapter we look at a number of laws about national security, snooping and anti-terrorism. We examine the way such laws have developed in recent years and how they can affect the work of journalists.
The current ‘war against terror’ has had several major effects on journalists, one being an increase in the number and severity of laws on national security issues. Many democracies have implemented laws specifically to fight terrorism. Some of them are explicitly titled ‘anti-terrorism’, some are branded as ‘patriotic’ while others are more subtle amendments to existing criminal codes. However they are described, almost all impact to some degree on the work of journalists. Although domestic terrorism has existed for centuries, most of the current anti-terrorism laws have flourished in the years since the renewal of international terrorism in the late 1990s which reached a symbolic peak with the events of 11 September 2001 in America.
Sedition laws ^^back to the top Official secrecy laws. The Intercept. Bluecabinet. Sniffmap. Sniffmap shows risks of interception, per country Sniffmap is a project to map the potential Internet mass interception performed by NSA and its allies (USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand). Since Edward Snowden disclosure, the security space has changed: rumors have been confirmed, data points have been available and new knowledge about security exposure and attack vectors is now known. This project tries to put this in easy to grasp visual representation, within the bigger context of TelcoMap.org. Actually, we get route data not only per country but also per ISP and operator, but for now we didn't find a way to visualize that neatly. Results Better display: Research methodology As stated in the fateful NSA document, many telecommunication links go through USA and its allies to connect two other countries. Our metholody is the following Known bias There are a few known bias Ok, so this research deals with routes, so why not using BGP?
