Comment on UK-US surveillance regime was unlawful ‘for seven years’

Comments

So roughly speaking, the US could spy on the UK but when they shared the data with the UK it was illegal for the UK authorities to "solicit, receive, store and transmit" that data.

However they previously had said that the new process of sharing data was now legal. In order to comply with the law GCHQ and the NSA have ... Made public the fact they are sharing information and how much.

Yeah, please take that one to a higher court and decide not on narrow technicalities but should we be doing this at all?

I am rather proud of Liberty (who I used to work for (IT and campaigns it's fun!) - it took a long time to get here.
