Lebanon, in particular, has had a long history of struggling against external spying on its telecommunications and Internet servers, with more than a hundred people arrested for collaborating with and spying for foreign states since April 2009. One of the most notable cases occurred in 2010 when Charbel Azzi, an employee of Alfa – one of Lebanon’s two mobile operators – was accused of working with Israel to tap into Lebanon’s telecommunications network.
The news regarding Prism and Boundless Informant raises further concerns over protecting the personal data of Lebanese citizens from foreign states.
