Australian government spies and companies monitor billions of private mobile phone calls
Mobile phones are the real weak link, they have revolutionised communications and monitoring [spying], Professor Ball said.
Australian citizens are supposed to be protected from an army of electronic eavesdroppers by strict laws that forbid agencies such as the ASD from spying on their own citizens within Australia. However thanks to the Snowden leaks we know that such protections count for little when it comes to the deeply interwoven and complex world of America’s spy agencies and their loyal allies including Australia and Britain. A leaked slide prepared by the NSA’s Special Source Operations group proves the point; “Much of the world’s communications flow through the US. Your target’s communication could easily be flowing into and through the US,” it says.
