France demands explanation from US over new NSA spy report

[Gabriel92]

Thank you Edward Snowden !

The American ambassador to France has been summoned by that country's government to give an explanation for a report that says the National Security Agency (NSA) gained access to the phone records of over 70 million French citizens over a 30-day period.

The report in Le Monde newspaper was based on documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden and was co-written by Glenn Greenwald, the former Guardian reporter who has been Snowden's closest collaborator in ensuring classified documents are made public.

The report alleges that when certain numbers were dialed, the conversations were automatically recorded. The surveillance operation also swept up text messages based on key words, Le Monde reported, based on records dated from Dec. 10 to Jan 7. Similar programs have been revealed in Britain and Germany.

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius called the alleged practices "totally unacceptable." Speaking at a meeting of European Union foreign ministers in Luxemborg Monday, Fabius said that U.S. ambassador to France Charles Rivkin would be received at the Quai d'Orsay, home of the French Foreign Ministry, according to Reuters.

Snowden alone made more than a thousand intelligence agents of KGB during the Soviet era.
It seems to me, his name will be remembered for a long time.

Finally, France is doing something. I still remember when Morales plane was stoppe en route back to Bolivia and everyone in the EU played along. Now I'm waiting for Merkel to also do something. Her (non) reaction to the massive NSA spy affair has been scandalous!

If this allegation turns out to be true, it would be like, while China is trying to invade neighbouring countries in term of territory like Tibet, South Sea that supposedly belongs to Vietnam,.. US is invading numerous countries in terms of information & privacy. Still invasion, added with subtlety.

You are also a potential terrorist, that's for sure! If not, then it was because the NSA protected you from being terrorised!

Xizang belongs to the sovereignty of China so is SCS.
usa is invading the world and brutally through the net, including some of its "closest allies". subtlety is a different term and not applicable to usa's PRISM and related invasion here.
