Geheimdienst-Spanner: Die NSA sitzt in den Netzen der Deutschen Telekom
Die NSA sitzt offensichtlich auch in den Netzen der Deutschen Telekom und anderen deutschen Providern. Das berichtet der SPIEGEL in seiner aktuellen Ausgabe und bezieht sich auf die sogenannte Treasure Map. Dieses Dokument aus den Snowden-Enthüllungen zeichnet eine Weltkarte der Netzwerke und dokumentiert u.a. die Ein- und Ausgänge in unterschiedliche Netze über das sich die Überwacher von NSA & Co bewegen. Die Treasure Map ist dabei nicht neu, bereits vor einem Jahr berichtete die New York Times darüber. Und dazu gab es die Info, dass die NSA in über 50.000 Netzwerken sitzen will. Aber jetzt gibt es konkrete Namen deutscher Unternehmen.

New Zealand Launched Mass Surveillance Project While Publicly Denying It
The New Zealand spy agency, the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB), worked in 2012 and 2013 to implement a mass metadata surveillance system even as top government officials publicly insisted no such program was being planned and would not be legally permitted.
Documents provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden show that the government worked in secret to exploit a new internet surveillance law enacted in the wake of revelations of illegal domestic spying to initiate a new metadata collection program that appeared designed to collect information about the communications of New Zealanders. Those actions are in direct conflict with the assurances given to the public by Prime Minister John Key (pictured above), who said the law was merely designed to fix “an ambiguous legal framework” by expressly allowing the agency to do what it had done for years, that it “isn’t and will never be wholesale spying on New Zealanders,” and the law “isn’t a revolution in the way New Zealand conducts its intelligence operations.”

Kim Dotcom accuses New Zealand government of mass spying
Internet entrepreneur holds panel with Glenn Greenwald and Julian Assange to expand on revelations that New Zealand government sought to implement top-secret mass surveillance program.
Summary
New Zealand’s election campaign collided with the biggest questions of the internet age on Monday - here’s how this remarkable day went down:
Documents provided by the whistleblower Edward Snowden reveal that the New Zealand government worked to implement a secret mass surveillance program code-named “Speargun” throughout 2012 and 2013.
It followed an admission at the weekend by the New Zealand prime minister, John Key, that his government considered a mass-spying proposal after a series of cyber attacks. Key says the proposed surveillance made him “uncomfortable” and that he halted it in March 2013.
Edward Snowden has weighed in, warning New Zealanders that he was personally able to search their intercepted internet traffic while working as an NSA analyst in Hawai’i. “If you live in New Zealand, you are being watched,” he wrote.
Key responded by releasing his own declassified documents, which he says prove that no mass spying ever took place.
Snowden has appeared via live stream at Moment of Truth, an Internet party event at Auckland Town Hall intended to publicise the Speargun revelations. Snowden told the audience that the NSA’s reach extended even to Auckland, where he claimed the agency operated a spy facility.
Internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom has pledged to end any mass surveillance of New Zealanders if he fledgling political party wins the balance of power at this Saturday’s general election. “We’ll close one of the five eyes,” Dotcom said, in reference to the intelligence-sharing agreement between Australia, the US, the UK, New Zealand and Canada.
