How To Find Out If GCHQ and the NSA Spied On You, and How To Complain

Mark Wilson writes: Privacy International has created a platform through which individuals and organizations can file complaints with GCHQ about surveillance of phone calls and internet usage.

The legality of mass surveillance has been questioned by many, and it has already been determined that human rights organization Amnesty International was illegally spied on. Edward Snowden's NSA revelations have led to a huge increase in awareness of privacy issues, and now Privacy International is making it easier to find out if you were spied on, and to lodge an official complaint.

Military and Law Enforcement don't cooperate without a gun to their head (oddly enough, that's why there IS a CIA and NSA - Hoover's FBI wouldn't cooperate willingly with Army/Navy/etc intelligence agencies (and don't get me started on how the Army/Navy/Air Force intel shops don't talk to each other without a gun to their collective heads))....
