According to the classified documents leaked by Snowden, the Australian
Signals Directorate<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Signals_Directorate>,
formerly known as the Defence Signals Directorate, had offered to share
information on Australian citizens with the other intelligence agencies of
the UKUSA Agreement <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UKUSA_Agreement>. Data
shared with foreign countries include "bulk, unselected, unminimised
metadata" such as "medical, legal or religious
information".[184]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_surveillance_disclosure#cite_note-guardian031213-184>

*The Washington Post
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Washington_Post>* revealed
that the NSA has been tracking the locations of mobile phones from all over
the world by tapping into the cables that connect mobile networks globally
and that serve U.S. cellphones as well as foreign ones. In the process of
doing so, the NSA collects more than 5 billion records of phone locations
on a daily basis. This enables NSA analysts to map cellphone owners’
relationships by correlating their patterns of movement over time with
thousands or millions of other phone users who cross their
paths.[185]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_surveillance_disclosure#cite_note-wapo52013-185>
