This is a list of notable people who are known to have been placed under surveillance by the Five Eyes (FVEY) - a term used by intelligence agencies to refer to the following five countries: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States.[1][2]
FVEY countries are bound by the UKUSA Agreement for cooperation in signals intelligence. Although the UKUSA alliance is often associated with the global surveillance system ECHELON, processed intelligence is reliant on multiple sources of information and the intelligence shared is not just restricted to signals intelligence, but also involves the mutual exchange of defence intelligence, security intelligence, and human intelligence.[3]
In recent years, several security agencies of the FVEY countries have been accused of intentionally spying on one another's citizens and willingly sharing the collected information with each other, allegedly circumventing laws preventing each agency from spying on its own citizens.[4][5][6][7]
