UK surveillance agencies collected everyone’s communications data unlawfully and in secret, for over a decade
In a highly significant judgment released today, The Investigatory Powers Tribunal has found that the UK’s intelligence agencies were secretly and unlawfully collecting bulk data on people in the UK without adequate safeguards or supervision for over a decade. This is one of the most significant indictments of the secret use of the Government’s mass surveillance powers since Edward Snowden first began exposing the extent of US and UK spying in 2013.
The Tribunal, which is tasked with hearing complaints against the security and intelligence services, concluded that the two regimes, which permitted the collection of vast amounts of communications data (Bulk Communications Data) and large datasets with personal information (Bulk Personal Datasets), were unlawful for over a decade.
The case exposed inadequate safeguards against abuse, including warnings to staff not to use the databases created to house these vast collections of data to search for and/or access information ‘about other members of staff, neighbours, friends, acquaintances, family members and public figures’. Internal oversight failed, with highly sensitive databases treated like Facebook to check on birthdays, and very worryingly on family members for ‘personal reasons’.

If you aren't doing anything illegal, why object? I don't care if they know who I talk to, or what kind of porn I watch.

Some of the porn I look at could possibly be considered risqué by most. It's not child porn, but it includes animals, little people, the handicapped, obese and interracial. I'm not okay with them knowing that! What if they try to use it against me?

US does this everyday. Bush sign the Patriot Act making it legal to read all emails, listen on cellphones convo's and internet traffic.

46,000 to 100,000 people are currently serving time for crimes that they did not commit
Despite growing concerns about police misconduct and the excesses of the war on drugs, this important information has remained largely unavailable to the public.
The Innocence Project has helped free hundreds of wrongly convicted people from prison in the last decade, and they point to studies which estimate that between 2.3% and 5% of all prisoners in the U.S. are innocent, which suggests that roughly 46,000 to 100,000 people are currently serving time for crimes that they did not commit. Keep that in mind the next time you are tempted to believe that your innocence will protect you from prosecution.

Sometimes I worry though about the doggie porn. I think it is a legal gray area.

I heard Adups affects android tablets, not just certain smart phones.
