Privacy warriors drag GCHQ into Euro human rights court over blanket spying, hacking


Having failed in its bid to block GCHQ's hacking activities at the UK's Investigatory Powers Tribunal, advocacy group Privacy International says it will now take its fight with the UK government to the European Court of Human Rights.
