Thanks - interesting read.
It sure is a but troubling, but I think unfortunately countries are spying on each other all the time. NSA spied on G20/G8 in 2010 that we know of - and nothing really came of it either.
There aren't really any enforceable laws against spying on other countries either. But there are laws regarding leaking intelligence.
It's a very dangerous game dealing with intelligence services of any kind.
In a situation like this, it would have been best to whistleblow anonymously, and also notify the government that is being spied on - then it's up to them to secure their shit.
But to attempt to embarrass a countries intelligence services and seek some kind of penalty against them is really a dead-end game.
- BLKNSLVR 6y agoThe theme is naiveté. That governments are doing this with impunity, and probably have been since the dawn of "civilization". That whistleblowing will make any difference to those responsible. Edward Snowmen cops it (admittedly it seems this viewpoint is decreasing) for "not following official channels". Official Channels is voluntarily putting your future in the toilet. The purpose of Official Channels is akin to HR Departments: to minimise the damage to the parent entity. More people need to be aware of this for their own good.
