The Bureau of Investigative Journalism spoke today about the most sensational revelations in the 287 documents about the international surveillance industry published today by WikiLeaks, saying that anyone using an iPhone, a Blackberry or Gmail are "all screwed" because "intelligence operations are selling right now mass surveillance systems for all those products".

The speech continued saying that your phone could be used to record and send information about you even when it is in stand-by mode. That data included location, recordings of your conversations and even photographs. This spy software could run on iPhone, Blackberry and Windows mobile kit. All these software products are commercially available, and sold seemingly without any regulation.

"We're seeing increasingly wholesale monitoring of entire populations with no suspicion of wrongdoing – the data is being monitored and stored in the hope that it might one day be useful. Without controls on this industry, the threat that surveillance poses to freedom on expression and human rights in general is only going to increase."
