    By my read, #SnoopersCharter legitimizes mass surveillance. It is the most intrusive and least accountable surveillance regime in the West.

        #SnoopersCharter does not require individualized judicial authorization in advance of *interception*. Such a dragnet is mass surveillance.

        @Snowden In that case we will seek to change it in Select Committee. Bulk collection will probably be declared illegal anyway.
