Snowden says UK surveillance bill hides programmes from courts
Original: #IPB seeks legal cover for programs made "secret" to avoid court challenges, not save lives. http:// theguardian.com/uk-
Edward Snowden criticised the UK's Investigatory Powers Bill, arguing it seeks legal cover for mass surveillance programmes kept secret to avoid court challenges rather than to protect lives. His comments, linked to leaked GCHQ memos reported by the Guardian, are drawing fresh attention to the legality of Britain's bulk surveillance and the government's justification for classifying such programmes.
Why now: The Snowden leaks revived debate over the legality of UK mass surveillance as the Investigatory Powers Bill advanced.
