“The key role US telecoms and internet companies play in NSA surveillance programs is detailed in a top-secret document provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden. In the five weeks from June 5 2010, data from Yahoo generated by far the most reports, followed by Microsoft and then Google. Between them, the three companies accounted for more than 2,000 reports in that period – all but a tiny fraction of the total. While the internet companies are listed by name in the NSA document, the telecoms companies are hidden behind covernames. The names of these ‘corporate partners’ are so sensitive that they are classified as ‘ECI’ – Exceptionally Controlled Information.”
