Weird headline. Whatever you think of their arguments, the interesting part is not that they were so bold as to describe the latest plan for mass surveillance as "mass surveillance."

Hey! Stop calling our mass surveillance "mass surveillance". It's very damaging to our case...

I'm going to download lots of titty pics just out of spite. Maybe some feet pics while i'm at it. People of the UK, I implore you to fill your phone with titty pictures.
Edit: All joking aside, I just read the pdf and everyone else should. Spread it far and wide. This is important.

Anytime there's a "government plans to do thing", replace "government" with "pedophiles" and are if you're still ok with it.

Recent revelations even show that it's not that far off...

Yeah it's time to download encryption apps before they claim it's illegal to have privacy

Old and busted: "If you're not doing anything illegal, you have nothing to hide."
New hotness: "Having something to hide is, in and of itself, illegal."
