Cellphone operator reveals scale of government snooping

(WashPost): http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/cellphone-operator-reveals-scale-of-govt-snooping/2014/06/06/b703183c-edc3-11e3-8a8a-e17c08f80871_story.html

   "But the most explosive revelation in Vodaphone's report is that in six
    countries, authorities require direct access to an operator's network,
    bypassing legal niceties like warrants and eliminating the need to get
    case-by-case cooperation from phone-company employees. It did not name
    the countries for legal reasons and to safeguard employees working
    there."
