The documents also chronicle GCHQ's sustained struggle to keep the large store of sexually explicit imagery collected by Optic Nerve away from the eyes of its staff, though there is little discussion about the privacy implications of storing this material in the first place.

Yes, heard them talking about this on the radio yesterday and the guy from Yahoo was virtually apoplectic with rage over the whole thing...... whilst it is not good surely people aren't surprised.... this is the country with more CCTV than anywhere else, a government that wants to control the population and a a clear penchant for snooping on its people! Another 25 years and North Korea will be asking the UN to free us from the oppressive regime of Chairman Cameron

Most people already carry one everywhere they go, it's called a smart phone unless you remove the battery they can remotely operate all the functions of your phone without you knowing.

Collecting webcam imagery of people wanking must be a vital issue of national security?

The question is if they are collecting that sort of data what else are they collecting that we don't know about yet?

Are you for real, so you don't mind someone at GCHQ watching your mrs playing with herself on the couch while you pop down to the shops or your kids in the bath or shower?

I have something to hide, it's called my privacy.

Good article on why the 'nothing to fear, nothing to hide' argument is wrong:

So, it's not just that wretched Facebook on internet to invade your privacy, is it?

Everything, *everything*, you do online is monitored, whether by the NSA, your ISP, the government, the website you joined, Facebook, advertising bots, your credit card company, Google, etc.

This has been the case since the dawn of the internet.

And one should treat the internet and what they do on it accordingly (including dancing around naked in front of a webcam).

Whoever thought it was ever any different is a moron.

Really? I didn't actually know that. I'll be placing my phone screen down at home from now on lol.

Isn't that an invasion of privacy though?

They can still listen and record what's going on in the room and then of course there's google street cam and google earth, that's just the stuff we know about, they can probably check the density and flavour characteristics of your farts and tell you what you ate for dinner last night.

Watching them choke on one I had just dropped would actually be quite cool TBH.

Veg curry or extra large portion of brussel sprouts would be considered attempted murder.

That pretty much sums it up.

Have to say as well there's a fundamental difference between data collection and data analysis (most of which is done by computers anyways).

Very true, the NSA has inserted its very own unique code into Android’s operating systems, bugging a sh#t load of the planets smart phones.
The NSA or Google can remotely switch your camera or your recorder on on your phone at any time.
In reality the NSA could spy on all smart phones,everywhere.
The more technology develops, the more intrusive these spying techniques will get.
