GCHQ is the UK version of NSA. They don't give a shit about anybody here either. Also NSA has already been illegally doing this in USA for at least the past 11 years , so I am forced to lol at the person who thinks UK has it so much worse than USA. USA signals intelligence agency has been doing this *illegally* (in UK they apparently made it legal first) years before the UK signals intelligence agency publicly started doing it. But in either case both have probably been doing it long before we were made aware of it. Intelligence agencies are quite frankly not bound by the laws that effect everyone else....why challenge the law Armtax it already says what NSA is doing is illegal....good luck getting them to stop doing it with yours citizens petition lol (also congress passed a statute saying that the cooperating telecommunications centers can not be held liable for assisting the NSA in breaking the law, even though it is widely agreed that they ARE breaking the law by assisting NSA in breaking the law) https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/03/no-checks-or-balances-warrantless-wiretapping-despite-holders-assurances https://www.eff.org/issues/nsa-spying
