WASHINGTON (TIP): US National Security Agency (NSA), India‘s Centre for Development of Telematics, and the UK’s GCHQ have been named among the worst online spies by a non-profit group for implementing censorship and surveillance.

Three of the government bodies designated by Reporters Without Borders as ‘Enemies of the Internet’ are located in democracies that have traditionally claimed to respect fundamental freedoms, a report by the Reporters Without Borders said.

Besides these, the report names several government bodies including Pakistan’s Telecommunication Authority, North Korea’s Central Scientific and Technological Information Agency, Vietnam’s ministry of information and communications etc. “The NSA in the US, GCHQ in the UK and the Centre for Development of Telematics in India are no better than their counterparts,” it said.
