New Zealand worked in secret for the introduction of a program that has its own inhabitants in the holes would hold. The government has always denied, but now confirms that the plans were there. That, however, would not be persevered in, the premier.
The unveiling of the planned surveillanceprogramma was done by The Intercept, the website of journalist Glenn Greenwald. NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden wrote on the website that the New Zealand secret service, the Government Communications Security Bureau, data on a large scale of New Zealanders searches. He also had a via software the NSA access to private data of millions of New Zealanders’, claims he.
From documents that the whistleblower has leaked turns out, according to Greenwald, indeed, that the New Zealand government secretly to such a surveillanceprogramma worked, though it appears there is not explicit in the program actually entered. The program was made possible by a change in the law that the GCSB made to New Zealanders to spy on; but that was forbidden. With the introduction of the law stressed the government that the law would not be used for large-scale surveillance.
Meanwhile, the New Zealand prime minister John Key confirmed that the government was working on a ‘large-scale conservation’ that ‘could be interpreted as a large-scale communication”, but that ultimately is not entered. Key has always indicated that he would blow when the new legislation would be used for large-scale spying on New Zealanders. Until now, he denied the existence of a surveillanceprogramma.
The spionagewet was partly as a result of the MegaUpload case changed. The GCSB spied on MegaUpload founder Kim Dotcom, while not at all if: Dotcom has a residence permit. In early 2012, the site was shut down by order of the American government.
Update Tuesday 10: 45 to: The prime minister of New Zealand John Key, calls the accusations of Snowden and Greenwald, according to the NZ Herald are unfounded: “If they have evidence they submit to their claims to support, had them last night had the chance but it came to nothing more than rhetoric.”
