Everyone knows what the “global surveillance disclosures saga” is about, everyone knows when and how it started; but how many people could say how is it going to end? The answer is nobody, actually. Nevertheless, formulating a kind of prevision is not out of our hands.

THE GUARDIAN vs THE DAILY MAIL: PRIVACY OR SECURITY?

Friday, 06 December 2013 23:21 Published in Europe

From politics to the media-world: “fights” on Snowden’s revelations are spreading all around. That’s what is happening in the UK in the last couple of months, where a kind of a quarrel came up between the right-winger headline The Daily Mail and the politically independent The Guardian. At the same time the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) was dragged to the dock by Snowden’s revelations published on The Guardian accusing the agency of having supported US espionage activities by controlling Italian government and its citizen’s communications, The Daily Mail began a harsh campaign against The Guardian guilty of providing a handbook to potential terrorists willing to harm Great Britain. In an ironic drawing, The Daily Mail pictured a newspaper seller handing out a copy of The Guardian to a man wearing a balaclava and, on the newspaper table, an advertisement says: “The Guardian – Secrets of MI5 and CGHQ – read all about it”. On its side, The Guardian has received support from many international headline editors asserting that what The Guardian has been doing is a clear expression of democracy end a clear example of freedom of speech and expression principle.

Snowden cyclone has been hitting European and Euro-Atlantic political relationships again in the last few weeks, and the Great Britain found herself in the middle of it. The political atmosphere started becoming really tense when Snowden affirmed that French, German, Italian government and about other thirty world political leaders have been spied by the NSA; but it got even worse since, according to the latest revelations as the Daily and Sunday Express reported, British 007s have been cooperating with US secret services in gathering data form the Italian government and phone and spying on Italian citizens phone and internet traffic on a huge scale. Simultaneously the BBC impartially claimed that such wiretapping were just a little piece of a greater security operation called Tempora leaded by the British GCHQ agency (Government Communications Headquarters) linked to the NSA PRISM activities.

In late September, the 15 United Nation Security Council Members approved a resolution that impose the destruction of all chemical weapons in possession of the Syrian regime by the first half of 2014. It's an important news related to the civil war, a two years and more ongoing conflict. Nevertheless, overestimating it's value would be quite a mistake.
