mass surveillance

The US Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Edward Snowden over his new book.

The British security service MI5 has been unlawfully retaining innocent people’s data for years, and failed to give senior judges accurate information about repeated breaches of its duty to delete bulk surveillance data.

The civil liberties and human rights organisation Liberty has defeated the Government’s attempt to put wide-ranging surveillance powers beyond scrutiny, and won a right to proceed with its full challenge to the Investigatory Powers Act.
