U.K. intelligence agency GCHQ captured and stored webcam images of millions of Yahoo users including substantial quantities of sexually explicit material, the Guardian newspaper reported Thursday.

GCHQ files dating between 2008 and 2010 explicitly state that a surveillance program codenamed Optic Nerve collected still images of Yahoo webcam chats in bulk and saved them to agency databases, regardless of whether individual users were an intelligence target or not. Webcam videos were not captured in their entirety, but Optic Nerve rather saved one image every five minutes to avoid overloading the agency’s servers and partly to comply with human rights legislation, according to the report.

This is getting ridiculous. Now they are intercepting nudes. I'm glad that Yahoo has taken a strong stance and will encrpyt all communication in the future. Fuck GCHQ!

The NSA helps GCHQ crack Yahoo webcams? Are there any US citizens on these webcams? If so has not the NSA just enabled spying on US Citizens, something outside their charter and illegal? Shut down the NSA, shut it all down.

Man i feel sorry for the poor guy who has to look through all those images. I hope they like looking at pictures of random guys jacking off.
