This Must Be the Enemy Ed Snowden Aided

Latin America.
Bolivian President Evo Morales has said that the US government has access to the correspondence of top authorities in his country, adding that he has shut down his own email.

"Those US intelligence agents have accessed the emails of our most senior authorities in Bolivia,” Morales said in a speech at the Mercosur regional summit in Montevideo.

"It was recommended to me that I not use email, and I've followed suit and shut it down," he said.

Speaking at the summit, Argentine Foreign Minister Hector Timerman also said that more than 100 of his country's officials were under electronic surveillance from a nation he did not name.

Russia, too.
A 486,540-rouble (£9,860) order for electric typewriters has been placed by the [Kremlin’s] FSO agency on the state procurement website.

The FSO has not commented on why it needs the old-fashioned devices.

But an agency source told Russia's Izvestiya newspaper the aim was to prevent leaks from computer hardware.

(As long as they don’t use those kind that store a certain amount of verbiage as you type. But then, I guess even at that, typewriters are difficult to sneak out of the building.)

And probably China.
