7 | Together with global Internet service and communications providers the Chaos Computer Club files complaint to end GCHQ attacks. | ||

10 | |||
11 | Seven Internet service and communications providers from around the | ||
12 | world filed a legal complaint today, calling for an end to GCHQ’s | ||
13 | attacking and exploitation of network infrastructure in order to | ||
14 | unlawfully gain access to potentially millions of people’s private | ||
15 | communications. | ||
16 | |||
17 | The complaint, filed by Riseup (US), GreenNet (UK), Greenhost | ||
18 | (Netherlands), Mango (Zimbabwe), Jinbonet (Korea), May First/People Link | ||
19 | (US), and the Chaos Computer Club (Germany), along with Privacy | ||
20 | International, is the first time that internet and communication | ||
21 | providers have taken collective action against GCHQ’s targeting, | ||
22 | attacking and exploitation of networks maintaining communications | ||
23 | infrastructure. | ||
24 | |||
25 | Lodged today in the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, the claimants assert | ||
26 | that GCHQ’s attacks on providers are not only illegal, but are | ||
27 | destructive, undermine the goodwill the organisations rely on, and | ||
28 | damage the trust in security and privacy that makes the Internet such a | ||
29 | crucial tool of communication and empowerment. The claimants are | ||
30 | demanding an end to such exploitation of Internet and communication | ||
31 | services, the targeting of their systems administrators and protections | ||
32 | for their users whose rights may have been infringed. | ||
