UK Tribunal Declares NSA's Data-Sharing with British Intel Illegal

UK Tribunal Declares NSA's Data-Sharing with British Intel Illegal | 6 Feb 2015 | A British tribunal has ruled that data sharing between the NSA and the UK spy group known as GCHQ was illegal for years–because it was done in secret. The Investigatory Powers Tribunal in the UK ruled today that British intelligence services acted unlawfully when they accessed the private communications of millions of people that had been collected by the NSA under its mass-surveillance programs known as PRISM and Upstream. The PRISM program, which began in 2007, allowed the NSA to collect data in bulk from U.S. companies like Yahoo and Google. The Upstream program involved the collection of data from taps placed on undersea cables outside the U.S.
