Ben Emmerson QC, the UN’s special rapporteur on counter-terrorism, has issued a report detailing how much monitoring the UK and US do via their bulk surveillance programs. As we know, bulk surveillance indiscriminately swallows up digital or telephonic communications data. Emmerson feels that this technology violates people's right to privacy.
Emmerson also castigates security programs which take “secret control over servers in key locations” and by impersonating websites “inject unauthorized remote control software into the computers and Wi-Fi-enabled devices of those who visit the clone site”.
