I check pages listed inCategory:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content fororphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some ofGlobal surveillance's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct forthis article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Spiegel20130831":

• FromGlobal surveillance by category:Staff (August 31, 2013)."Snowden Document: NSA Spied On Al Jazeera Communications". RetrievedAugust 31, 2013.
• FromUKUSA Agreement:Staff (31 August 2013)."Snowden Document: NSA Spied On Al Jazeera Communications". Retrieved31 August 2013.

Reference named "Guardian 2010":

• FromUKUSA Agreement:Norton-Taylor, Richard (25 June 2010)."Not so secret: deal at the heart of UK-US intelligence".The Guardian. Retrieved25 June 2010.
• FromOrigins of global surveillance:Norton-Taylor, Richard (June 25, 2010)."Not so secret: deal at the heart of UK-US intelligence".The Guardian. RetrievedJune 25, 2010.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not.AnomieBOT⚡02:49, 30 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

In his recently published doctor thesis Jake Applebaum explains e.g.:

"The NSA listed Cavium, an American semiconductor company marketing Central Processing Units (CPUs) – the main processor in a computer which runs the operating system and applications – as a successful example of a “SIGINT-enabled” CPU supplier. Cavium, now owned by Marvell, said it does not implement back doors for any government.

The NSA compromised lawful Russian interception infrastructure, SORM. The NSA archive contains slides showing two Russian officers wearing jackets with a slogan written in Cyrillic: “You talk, we listen.”

The NSA and/or GCHQ has also compromised Key European LI [lawful interception] systems.

Among example targets of its mass surveillance program, PRISM, the NSA listed the Tibetan government in exile."

I failed to insert it properly in the article obviously.And ask you to embetter it.

An addition:All sources cited here are "gone" in the US and I see no article or discussion or mentioning of this criminal governments behaviour in english Wikipedia but here:

https://www.heise.de/news/NSA-Skandal-Geheimdienste-manipulieren-und-diskreditieren-im-Netz-2123236.html

It is about

practised and/or trained by the

And for sure global breach of privacy is one of the best predispositions for this sort of illegal torture.
