GCHQ censured over sharing of internet surveillance data with US

BBC News - GCHQ censured over sharing of internet surveillance data with US: "Before December, the IPT said: "The regime governing the soliciting, receiving, storing and transmitting by UK authorities of private communications of individuals located in the UK, which have been obtained by US authorities pursuant to Prism and... Upstream, contravened articles 8 or 10 [of the European Convention of Human Rights]."

Article 8 is the right to privacy, article 10 the right to freedom of expression.

The agency is now compliant, the tribunal said." 'via Blog this'
