Reply to comment by MasterElf425900 in Indian government can spy on Indian internet users in real time by n1ght_w1ng08
Something I've worried about for a long time - China, India, even the US are proving the efficacy of surveillance technology, even with a massive population. It's a matter of time until this tech starts getting widely exported to traditionally "democratic" territories. Being an autocrat is easier than it's ever been. We already see fascist governments popping up all over the world.

UK should always be in that list as well.
Don't know why people don't talk about surveillance in the UK anymore.

First time I’ve heard someone say this, and I want to know more. Do you have any good articles/studies about it that you can share?

UK and US have very similar surveillance laws, but GCHQ was pretty much founded on signals surveillance.

Decent launch pad for UK surveillance information.
