UK privacy group wants Level 3 to address allegations of spying cooperation

Back in August 2013, one of the myriad of documents provided by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden showed that several major telecommunications companies provided British intelligence with direct access to their undersea fiber optic cables.

Now, Privacy International wants answers as to how the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), the British equivalent of the NSA, got its hands on all that data. And as of Monday, Privacy International hopes to use a “non-adversarial arena” as part of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to compel answers from one of those firms, Level 3. Earlier this summer, Privacy International sued the UK government over the surveillance for alleged violations of British law.
