“An EU parliamentary inquiry condemns ‘unprecedented’ and ‘indiscriminate’ mass data gathering by US and British agencies, calling for the practice to stop and questioning its legality. The 51-page draft report prepared by the European parliament’s civil liberties committee’s rapporteur, British MEP Claude Moraes, has in the ‘strongest possible terms’ condemned mass surveillance activities of the NSA and its British counterpart, GCHQ. The report calls on US authorities and EU states to ‘prohibit blanket mass surveillance activities and bulk processing of personal data,’ saying it is ‘very doubtful’ that the collection of information on the perceived is only guided by the fight against terrorism.’
