SUMMARY
Allies spying on each other's citizens to skip their own laws. A gentleman's agreement.
FULL DOSSIER
The UKUSA agreement (1946, declassified 2010) binds US-UK-Canada-Australia-NZ signals intelligence. The documented loophole — partners tasking collection on each other's citizens to bypass domestic law — was flagged in the ECHELON report and confirmed in Snowden-era documents. It is the legal architecture beneath ECHELON and PRISM, which is why it hubs the surveillance cluster.
