Ms Carlo, the Director of Big Brother Watch told talkRADIO’s Matthew Wright: “GCHQ, which is a UK intelligence agency, have a programme called Karma Police that is effectively a catalogue of the web browsing histories of every visible user of the internet.
“That includes us domestically in the UK as well.
“They also had a programme called Black Hole which was a repository of over one trillion events including internet histories, email messenger records, search engine queries and social media activity.
“So whilst we have had success in court this time, the Government has since introduced a new legal framework to do even more extensive surveillance so we still really need the public support because we really have our work cut out.”
This comes as European judges found the use of some surveillance techniques deployed by Britain’s spy agencies breached human rights obligations.
The case centred on complaints about powers given to security services under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, which has since been replaced.
This bulk interception is used to collect communications of individuals outside of the UK to identify potential overseas threats.
A summary of the judgment said: "While the court was satisfied that the intelligence services of the United Kingdom take their Convention obligations seriously and are not abusing their powers, it found that there was inadequate independent oversight of the selection and search processes involved in the operation, in particular when it came to selecting the internet bearers for interception and choosing the selectors and search criteria used to filter and select intercepted communications for examination."
Went by Lowes the other day, went through self-check out, a light comes on, and a LCD screen lights up on the kiosk, and there I wuz on the screen.
They got me. They got haffast. Satellites hooking up in outer space.....too late.
After a stunned moment of watching myself stare at myself, WTH, my doctor's office, hospital and medical labs already have me on file anyway.
Is some freak taking copies of these files home with 'em, reviewing them while drinking a beer and laughing as he posts outtakes to some snowflake web forum somewhere?
That's right buddy, my hat is red, and I at least know what the hole in that washer is for you confused little pervert.
I don't remember what I paid for that bag of washers.
MAGA
The very last thing in the world that freak wants to see is this big ol' dude in real life.
I frequently consider making a sojourn out in the Flatlands to give 'em all that opportunity.
...and lately the frequency of those considerations is going up exponentially.
