Blanket spying illegal in EU
 

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has ruled that mass surveillance is illegal which might miff the UK’s plans to spy on everyone.

The court ruled that the Hungarian government had violated article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (the right to privacy) because it failed to have sufficiently precise, effective and comprehensive measures that would limit surveillance to only people suspected of crimes.
