USA: Tech-Riesen sollen Spionage weiter geheim halten

Die US-Regierung hat sich gegen den Antrag von Technologie-Riesen wie Google gestellt, mehr Informationen über deren Zusammenarbeit mit den Geheimdiensten zu veröffentlichen. Solche Angaben wären "für unsere Feinde unbezahlbar", hieß es in einer am Mittwoch veröffentlichten Stellungnahme des Justizministeriums für das zuständige Geheimgericht.

Das Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court soll über den Antrag der Unternehmen entscheiden, zu denen auch Microsoft, Facebook und Yahoo gehören. Sie haben erklärt, die Enthüllungen des ehemaligen NSA-Mitarbeiters Edward Snowden seien zum Teil falsch. Allerdings dürfen sie nach US-Recht keine weiteren Informationen dazu herausgeben.
