US told to quit sharing data with human rights-violating surveillance regime. Which one, you ask? That'd be the UK

Re: I am confused

The UK has ratified the Bill of Rights, it has ratified all protocols of the Geneva Convention

That's not really the topic of concern here though, it's the US concerned over the UKs data retention fetish - that impringes on their 'highland sword dance' round their own constitution and the various pertinent amendments.

It's basically a liability issue I think - the UK legislation pumped out in each new Snoopers Charter is after all vague and legally untested.
