I'm not sure whether this is a story or not. We have known for some years that there's a "collect it all" policy implemented by the spy agencies.

I feel like I've been through the mill with this kind of stuff. The campaign against the snooper's charter in the UK, which included the legalization of "bulk personal datasets", was a really dismal failure. I think there is little chance that the government will reduce its indiscriminate spying on people just by asking them nicely via pressure groups.
Something which became clear to me after Snowden was just that all this spying is just how the British establishment stays rich, via leveraging insider knowledge obtained by illegal or quasi-legal methods.
