“The US
National Security Agency (NSA) eavesdrop on practically all
communications from South American countries, WikiLeaks founder
Julian Assange told a Chilean media outlet on Tuesday. [...] As for
the giants like Facebook and Google, they have to cooperate with the
US security services, the Australian journalist explained. Assange
has spent the last three years in Ecuador’s London embassy under
threat of extradition to Sweden for questioning over allegations of
sexual assault.”
“There’s
a lack of financial motivation on the part of the IT giants to stop
collecting private data, Assange noted. [...] At the weekend,
WikiLeaks published another batch of secret documents. This cache
dealt with the US eavesdropping on the cell phones and other
communications of 29 leading Brazilian government and economic
officials, including President Dilma Roussef. Information about the
NSA wiretapping the Brazilian president’s communications first
emerged in 2013.”
“'What
has happened in Latin America over the last 10 years is important not
only for its inhabitants but also for the rest of the world,' Assange
said. 'There are positive and negative examples, but Latin America’s
independence from the United States is undeniable,' he added.”
