From the nsas global spying for graham. The Foreign Ministry has announced it is ending a kids old surveillance agreement. It was a joint understanding. The decision comes as new reports show cooperation corporations working with authorities to gather private data. Companies developed software to help in the surveillance. Britains a guest spy agency. It is reported to have even paid Telecommunications Customer need companies to snoop on customers. The data lines are utilized by Internet Users by other countries. We must untangle this web.

The German Government had been pushing to suspend this intelligence sharing agreement. Ever since the revelations from Edward Snowden emerged. The agreement is not clear. We are getting mixed signals and having the foreign minister of germany saying this is a necessary consequence of the bates about privacy protection. On the other hand we are hearing that this intelligence sharing agreement was apparently a cold war relic. But it was obsolete and some are saying the significance of the suspension is largely symbolic. This whole nsa affair, we have seen protests across germany.

Lets bring in our technology expert. Just how close would you say is the cooperation between intelligence agencies permissions . It is getting closer every day as we follow the story. There is a reason that goes beyond the sale of customer and data to basically anybody. We are living in the Information Society and information has become currency. Infrastructure has become commodity. This is built by commercial enterprises. It is heavily regulated i governments and government agencies. There might be pressure for companies to comply. How can we as normal citizens keep an eye on what is happening to us . By following the news program and on the other hand there are institutions, people who have been commissioned with watching over our privacy. But the power of these people does not go much farther than filing lawsuits against violators of privacy and advising politicians. What we see here is a shift in paradigm.

Fiberoptic cables that have been sabotaged, i suppose you could say how does that happen, who owns them . Another private company or enterprise. This is at t along with their counterpart.

Since when and where in the world is an army that protects democracy . So far the u. S. Has stopped short of calling this a coup. That is not likely to change. Otherwise the Egyptian Military would stand to lose 1. 3 though you dollars in u. S. Aid every year. Supporters are defying police with new rallies. Will that lead to more clashes .

It is time to look at a party that is still fairly new to the Political Landscape in europe and germany. There main platform is protection. After getting a better picture of the workings of the worlds spy agencies thanks to Edward Snowden. Here is more about the french party that shot to National Prominence and is managing to create waves. The Campaign Headquarters of the pirate party. Members are meeting to discuss their fears of a surveillance state. They have accused the u. S. National Security Agency of intercepting far more data than totalitarian east germanys secret police, the stasi ever did. What the nsa is collecting is about one billion times more. That is immense. That kind of data is inconceivable and it is available as electronic data. If you printed it out and sorted in filing cabinets that would cover 1000 by 1000 kilometers. The pirates have made Data Protection their Central Campaign issue. They say everyone uses the internet and has a stake in it. Next that is our data, our thoughts, our and knowledge, our friends, our context, our family that live in these devices in the form of digital data and then must be protected. The pirate party has touched a nerve with its demands for transparency. It has also struggled to addressed a host of topics to move beyond being just a single issue party. The pirate say they want to tackle every issue from the financial crisis to rights for the disabled. Daytoday concerns that affect everyone. Free information, the right to participate, the idea of transparency. These are very old ideas. They come from science. These ideas can be carried over to other areas. Were are not just the internet party, the we are the party for everyone who wants to help shape politics. The problem, the public views the pilot the pirates as a party of techies. I have caught the establishment offguard with their focus on internet and computers. The i do not think there is an advantage to be seen as a one issue party since that suggests one sightedness. The party has had its successes and then well in Regional Elections but electoral success gave way to internal power struggles. The party plummeted in opinion polls. The pirates have become like germanys established Political Parties and that spelled trouble for fledgling political movements in the past. One small piece of business news.
