How To Find Out If GCHQ and the NSA Spied On You, and How To Complain
Mark Wilson writes: Privacy International has created a platform through which individuals and organizations can file complaints with GCHQ about surveillance of phone calls and internet usage. The charity has long concerned itself with government surveillance, particularly the sharing of data between the NSA and GCHQ. The legality of mass surveillance has been questioned by many, and it has already been determined that human rights organization Amnesty International was illegally spied on. Edward Snowden's NSA revelations have led to a huge increase in awareness of privacy issues, and now Privacy International is making it easier to find out if you were spied on, and to lodge an official complaint.
If it says you were spied on, it means:
- maybe you were spied on
- maybe you weren't spied on
If it says you weren't spied on, it means:
- maybe you weren't spied on
- maybe you were spied on
In either case, you may now be on a list that is asking. What a clever way of narrowing down the list of people the NSA needs to keep tabs on (If you're doing something wrong, you'll probably want to know if the authorities are on to you).
After my clearance was issued I obtained it through the freedom of information act. Great reference material (we moved a lot).
While this was mostly information I sent myself, there are the interviews of your reference's, spontaneous interviews, and what they have found.
One would assume anything of importance from the NSA be included as well.
