Wikileaks will publish documents about companies that create technology to spy on people

The scandalous brainchild of Julian Assange - a project Wikileaks - began to explore a new direction of activity associated with the activities of a number of high-tech companies around the world.
The SpyFiles project intends to publish documents that will be devoted to technologies and companies, with the help of which a number of military, political and other organizations around the world monitor the users for the purpose of their control and covert control. The site directly stated the following:

High-tech companies, such as VASTech, secretly sell equipment to continuously record telephone conversations from entire countries. Others maintain the position of each mobile phone in the city with an accuracy of 50 meters ... SS8 companies in the US, Hacking Team in Italy ... create viruses (Trojans) that infect computers and phones, recording every use they make, movement, and even photos and sounds in the room where devices are ...

About two hundred companies are already in the “black list”, among which you can find such giants as Alcatel, Hewlett Packard, Nokia Siemens Networks. The source of information about the secret activities of companies are a number of organizations: the German ARD, the British The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, the Indian The Hindu and the famous American newspaper The Washington Post.

Of course, rumors of Big Brother have long been hovering in modern society, creating such semi-legendary projects as Echelon or the scandals arising from time to time that the devices of well-known companies follow their users. It is still difficult to give an objective assessment of the documents published, because such a study will have to be based on either powers that are extremely high or on the enthusiasm of individuals, whose life and work does not depend on companies suspected of targeted misconduct.
