@emptywheel I think so too. Depressing that in this case it's coming from the watchdog that is supposed to hold the agency to account. -
@rj_gallagher I would declare independence if I were you! ;p Not that it'd do any good. -
@emptywheel There's actually some interesting developments on that - plans for a new independent spy apparatus: http://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/referendum-news/snp-urged-to-curtail-plans-for-security-services.23842253 … -

@emptywheel@rj_gallagher Awkward that I as a non-native speaker has to tell you their English is correct. Yours is obviously broken. -
@twrweb I see. You think collecting massive amt of Internet flow but not "examining" it does not count as massive intrusion.@rj_gallagher -
@emptywheel Exactly. "Intrusion" is more than temporarily having data which is not processed at all.@rj_gallagher -
@twrweb@emptywheel@rj_gallagher If GCHQ had video of every time you had sex - but promised not to watch it! - this would be okay, right? -
@LitThom How should I know when it's erased untouched? BTW I protect my private sex tapes.@emptywheel@rj_gallagher -
@twrweb@emptywheel@rj_gallagher How could you know - exactly. Same with emails. -
@LitThom My provider also has my emails temporarily, but privacy breach is only when somebody looks into.@emptywheel@rj_gallagher -
@LitThom What GHCQ does is a nogo domestic, but abroad no big deal. Every nation state does it.@emptywheel@rj_gallagher - 4 more replies
