the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks has
begun releasing sensational information
on the multi-billion dollar global
spying
industry the database contains hundreds
of documents shining a light on the
methods being used by secret services
all over the world parties Laura Smith
now joins us live
with details well or go on and tell us
all about the spy files were here
well that may be there 287 of them have
already been released but that's just
the beginning according to wiki leaks
and a detail
what wikiLeaks is calling mass
surveillance that's going on
on a global scale they say that ten
years ago didn't see that really didn't
exist but that 9/11 provided
essentially a license for companies to
start developing
spying systems that basically affect or
the bus
and now there are 160 companies in 20
different countries all
developing this software and it's an
industry that's completely unregulated
adjusted to bring it down to the basic
students also said that you know he did
a quick survey around the room in this
press conference that we were out this
morning
and he said to who hangs an iPhone or
uses Gmail
or have the blackberry and I don't put
put their hands up and he says basically
United you you are under surveillance
and that is
without a doubt the systems are able to
spy on
email the able to track level attract
put your pants on the Internet able to
track
key Straits what he sets for any people
search for example
and that's how did things are inherently
tracking devices in their own right
you're carrying around a device that
enables people to know where you are any
given time is also a software that can
be remotely
a installed on your telephone but to
records conversations that you have and
also amazingly
take place across overview and whoever
you're with guns and send them to see
whoever wants to see the relevant
agencies the CIA apparently has is using
software
which can detects a voice spreads and
matted instantly
and and know who it is still speaking to
identify call us on the telephone
and in fact I thought has been working
on this for some time and he told me
when I interviewed him some months ago
that Facebook
was a perfect tool for the CIA that that
the CIA sets the track anything that was
going on by a face pic
this is so flat is being made by Western
companies
and then sold two countries which
include according to wiki leaks
I Tunisia Syria Egypt's and Libya you
can look to ourselves and see these
documents that they're all online at
WikiLeaks still
orkut forward slash spy files but i just
give you one example which is all a
contract that Wikileaks has uncovered
between a French company called
I missed this with a the Nate scuttle
Gadhafi's
former regime in Libya to track mobile
communications and wikiLeaks says it has
evidence that software was used
to track libyans ups opponents over %uh
Gadhafi's who was living in the UK at
the time even though this stuff well as
I say
it's completely illegal in western
companies a western country so it's
illegal to use these kinds of these
kinds of web by
any kind of agency to obtain blankets
information on groups of people
in Tunisia wikiLeaks says it has proof
that that the use of this software
results and the information gained from
the use of I like this has resulted in
people dying at the hands of the regime
and it's not being used anymore to track
individuals they
they were at pains to point out that its
use to track whole community poll
ethnic groups whole nations surveillance
on an industrial scale
and I saw didn't have any advice to us
as to how we could protect ourselves
against this kind
tracking he said that counter
intelligence software must beat about it
but it hasn't been developed yet
more files coming out as I stay while
parties are Laura Smith that life in
London thank you
