Anonymous activists staged a protest by beaming giant words reading 'United Stasi of America' across the walls of the US embassy in Berlin on Monday.
In protest of government surveillance, Anonymous' latest act of civil disobedience lit up the walls of the Embassy with 10ft letters which referenced the former East German secret police.
The 3 activists arrived at the USA embassy, set up a generator and ran the projection for approximately 2 minutes before packing up and leaving the scene, not before having a celebratory dance.
Two policemen were present during the event and were later joined by more than ten officers who proceeded to detain the Ruptly journalists filming on location.
The reporters were searched and then detained for two hours while the police considered them first as suspects and then Anonymous conspirators.
They were released without charge when the authorities acknowledged that their footage was indeed their alibi.
Edward Snowden, the former NSA employee and whistleblower was quoted in an interview by German newspaper, Der Spiegel as describing the NSA as "in bed with the Germans".
He also revealed in the report released July 7, that the NSA monitored about 20 million phone connections and 10 million internet data sets on average, per day and that the US' closest allies went even further than the NSA to collect data.
Berlin police are investigating artist Oliver Bienkowski in relation to similar projections seen on July 8.
