Responding to the ruling, a British government spokesman said the retention of communications data was absolutely fundamental to allowing law enforcement authorities to investigate crime and ensure national security.

"We cannot be in a position where service providers are unable to retain this data," the spokesman said.


Yeah, law enforcement's just so trustworthy.

The honest truth is that GCHQ could pull the info any time it wanted and share it anyway.
