A recent batch of NSA documents offered by Edward Snowden to The Intercept online newspaper reveal a super-secret British spying project that's been logging online traffic for all Internet users around the globe.
The project, called Karma Police, has the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters), a British security and surveillance agency, in charge of creating and managing a database of online activities for Internet users around the globe, with the purpose of detecting criminal and terrorist behavior from online habits.

Anything like this for Canada? I think we have our own version of the NSA that spies on us.

@frogboy Not good at all. Seems like the governments around the world wants to be in everyone's business.

They can spy away. I don't do anything dodgy. I'm working now so I got even less time.

I'm just reading tech news, YouTube, Netflix, and on here. That's pretty much it. Nothing interesting they will find out of me.

Only fools believes in Privacy. Privacy died during the Cold War and will never be revived unless you launch EMPs in a Worlwide scale...

Want privacy?

Abandon technology !
So very true. o_O

Yes exactly, so basically unless you are a terrorist extremist, pedophile, spy, activist, hacker and other criminals, you can sleep without worrying too much about privacy...
I am sure i am not any of the above. :p

I still can not believe people get surprised by articles like this.. All countries have been doing this for a very long time.. It is nothing new, not something just discovered, it is something finally perceived. I laugh at those in other countries that are putting down the NSA and making fun of Americans, knowing that the person doing so, is being spied on by their own government, and others..

It is simple, the internet is the last of the wild frontiers on this planet, a place for criminals to hide and communicate, and in order for government's and criminal investigation organizations to track and catch these criminals, they have to use every means necessary.

super-secret British spying project
Not any more. :p

Spying? Everyone does it. I wonder how many parents track their child's activity online, or employers monitoring their employees.

As long as the government's focus is on preventing acts of terrorism, using technology to capture the people responsible, and not being intrusive to peoples lives, then it's reasonably understandable. Reasonable, but not 100% agreeable.

Privacy has been down the drain for a long time. Well thanks to Snowden its been really nice knowing how "they" do it, improve on it and "expand".

James bond 007 has a lot to answer for.!
Time for a vodka martini shaken but not stirred lol.:p
-- Aside from 007, this guy is at fault also. Toshiba British Intelligence : Spying for You :)
