 The GCHQ mass tapping operation has been built up over five years by
 attaching intercept probes to transatlantic fibre-optic cables where they
 land on British shores carrying data to western Europe from telephone

 This was done under secret agreements with commercial companies,
 described in one document as intercept partners.

It is related. There was a question as to whether edits and other
activity on Wikipedia were being swept up. Obviously they are. Whether
activities of interest to intelligence agencies are logged or ever used
or how is another matter.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Tapping into the Backbone

2013-06-22 Thread Fred Bauder
In our earlier discussion about PRISM. Whether the intelligence agencies
could, if they felt it within their remit, access edits and other
actions, and, of course, passwords. Obviously they can easily if they are
not encrypted. Common sense, on the other hand will inform you that
nothing we do would be of interest to an intelligence agencies focused on
actual threats.
