Flutterby™! : GCHQ snooping, and more revelations on scope

Britain's GCHQ is monitoring cables much like the NSA does.

GCHQ and the NSA are consequently able to access and process vast quantities of communications between entirely innocent people, as well as targeted suspects.

This includes recordings of phone calls, the content of email messages, entries on Facebook and the history of any internet user's access to websites – all of which is deemed legal, even though the warrant system was supposed to limit interception to a specified range of targets.

It really warms my heart to hear that Britain and the United States are doing this for our protection. Really, I felt so unsafe when just China and Iran were protecting us.
