just willing to hear your views on what are the rules to check/tackle such issues in other foreign countries???
Well, one of the tricks these bastards play with Echelon is how they get around the typical illegality of spying on people in their own country. For instance, I'm from Canada, and our spy agencies are not allowed to spy on people inside our own country (technically). It's much the same in the USA, probably worse, as we're both pissing away our privacy.
So anyways, what they do is agree to help each other out by spying on each other's citizens, then sharing the information. So, the UK will spy on Australian and American citizens, Canada will spy on US and US on Canadian citizens, Australia on UK and such, etc. That way they're not breaking the letter of the law. Twisted, huh?
Perhaps your country has similar agreements with neighbouring countries. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.grok.org.uk/full-disclosure-charter.html Hosted and sponsored by Secunia - http://secunia.com/
