Hegemonic acts in cyberspace challenge clean internet claim

Some secret military documents of the United States leaked on social networking sites recently showed how the US has been eavesdropping on the secretary-general of the United Nations and the heads of the Republic of Korea, Israel, Ukraine and other countries.

These leaks prove that the US' claims of promoting a "clean internet" and "technology in line with democratic values and interests" are hypocritical.

Even the media in the US said the leaked documents provide a rare peek into how the Central Intelligence Agency recruits agents or uses technology to spy on foreign leaders.
