UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond confirmed that British
authorities collect private emails and social media messages sent
to or from countries outside of the UK. Hammond said that although
the collection of this data was without ministerial sign off, none
of the messages are individually examined without a signed warrant
from him granting permission. Hammond added that the public should
have confidence as Britain lacked the resources to analyse mass
data.
