Or worse, what about Australian companies?
I work at a company in Australia that works on systems that will get deployed into locked down enviroments for privacy reasons/laws.
Could the Australian government force us to spy on our overseas customers? What about our indirect customers (Customers of Customers)? Can the Aus government strong arm us to spy on these people we in theory could spy on but don't deal with directly.
All of this while lying to our clients, legally of course....

- jay_kyburz 8y agoMy understanding is that this is the whole point of the five eyes program. It's illegal for the US to spy on its citizens, so they ask Australia to do it and report the findings. According to Wikipedia, Snowden revealed that the five eyes countries "have been spying on one another's citizens and sharing the collected information with each other in order to circumvent restrictive domestic regulations on surveillance of citizens."
