Britain's spy agency GCHQ intercepted millions of people's webcam chats and stored still images of them, including sexually explicit ones, an English newspaper has reported. GCHQ files dating between 2008 and 2010 provided to The Guardian by the former US National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden revealed that the surveillance program, codenamed Optic Nerve, saved one image every five minutes from randomly selected Yahoo webcam chats and stored them on agency databases.

This is creepy for you UK fellows

This isn't right.
It is breaching the Human Rights Act 1998.
Us Humans have the right to privacy and they are invading it.
I don't know why these agencies get away with it, kinda annoys me.

They will always get away with it, it's how this world works nowadays.

Shoutout to all the idiots saying only the American government did these kinds of things.

On a serious note, I support this.
Yahoo Messenger is a hub for pedophiles.
