New Zealand’s government spied on Kim DotCom because he was a foreign national. Prime Minister John Key apologized to DotCom for the spying conducted against him by the Government Communications Security Bureau. The U.S. has accused DotCom of criminal copyright violations. New Zealand police raided DotCom’s home and arrested him in January. The GCSB isn’t allowed to conduct such surveillance on New Zealand citizens, and the agency was under the false impression that DotCom, born in Germany, was not yet a citizen.”]
