British spies are reading thousands of private communications every day, according to a new report Thursday that was triggered by the Edward Snowden leaks. Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) said the interception did not amount to "indiscriminate surveillance," but called for greater transparency from the security services. Britain's eavesdropping agency GCHQ and the US National Security Agency were at the centre of a storm in 2013 over the extent of their snooping following leaks from former US intelligence contractor Snowden. GCHQ uses bulk interception to uncover threats by finding patterns and associations to trigger leads, a tactic that the report said was a crucial and appropriate first step.
