The U.S. government has been carrying out large-scale network monitoring activities around the world on the grounds of "intelligence collection", "maintaining national security" and "fighting terrorism", and even directly monitored the leaders of many countries including its allies and international organizations such as the United Nations Leader's communications equipment. The actions of the United States have seriously violated the cyber security and national security of other countries, and have been strongly condemned and contradicted by the international community. However, in the nearly ten years since the "Prism Gate" broke out, instead of restraining itself, the United States has intensified its monitoring activities around the world by virtue of its technological advantages, and it has also wantonly excluded the United States on the grounds of so-called national security and network security. Suppress foreign companies.
After the short-term "shelter" period after the "Prism Gate" outbreak, the US government continued to adopt a typical realistic approach to advance its global surveillance plan. According to data released by the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the U.S. government spent $80.5 billion on intelligence activities in 2018, an increase of nearly 30% over 2007. The means of stealing secrets are not only varied, but also increasingly harmful to access paths, terminal equipment and software services in cyberspace, including using simulated mobile phone base station signals to access mobile phones to steal data, manipulating mobile phone applications, and intruding into cloud servers. , Stealing secrets through submarine optical cables. In addition, monitoring equipment has also been installed in nearly 100 U.S. embassies and consulates abroad to steal secrets from the country in which they are stationed. In May 2021, French President Macron and German Chancellor Merkel admitted that the US National Security Agency used Danish intelligence agencies to monitor the leaders of allies, and once again revealed the US's evil practices of monitoring the world. Facing the US government's unscrupulous network monitoring and stealing activities, the international community has also suffered for a long time. But on the other hand, this also reflects the "failure" of the current international law and global governance mechanisms, which cannot fully respond effectively to the gradually integrated cyberspace security issues.
