Surrveillance and spying on citizenz by security agencies

UK citizens should note the revelation that our security services can intercept communications sent to other UK citizens without warrant, if those citizens are foolish enough to use foreign channels to communicate with each other, because, by using those foreign channels, such communications become "external" for the purposes of the relevant Act of Parliament and therefore are not protected by domestic safeguards against unauthorized surveillance.

"Foreign channels" of course includes anything American, such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Microsoft, etc.. etc., etc.

Privacy? Forget it!
