London, UK (Weltexpress). “The Guardian” reported that Judge Pinto de Albuquerque said he believed Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) had opened the gates for an electronic “Big Brother”.
The GCHQ of the United Kingdom (UK) breached people’s fundamental human rights by intercepting huge amounts of email, text, WhatsApp and other electronic conversations, the European Court of Human Rights has ruled.
GCHQ was taken to court by a pressure group, Big Brother Watch, in 2013 following revelations by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden that they, along with the NSA in the United States were hoovering up vast amounts of communications globally.
