To mark the one year anniversary since leaks about covert spying activities by the US National Security Agency (NSA) came to light, we highlight five learnings that have been made.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yesterday, 5 June, marks one year since the Guardian newspaper (United Kingdom) reported that there had been a leak of classified United States (US) National Security Agency (NSA) documents, and by June 9, Edward Snowden\u2019s identity, as the source of that leak, was revealed. In the time that has elapsed, there have been a raft of revelations on NSA surveillance activities worldwide, many of which might have given us cause to pause and think about the impact of the allegations that have been made.<\/p>\n

For all intents and purposes, the dust has not truly settled on the extent of US surveillance activities within their jurisdiction, and internationally, as new reports and allegations are still coming to light. However, in recognition of the anniversary that is upon us, we are highlighting a few of our takeaways since the initial revelations were made.<\/p>\n
