For the first time since Edward Snowden revealed the indiscriminate spying of the Five Eyes national intelligence alliance, everyone in the world has a chance to ask, what about me? Did they spy on my life? In a narrow but important decision, the UK Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) ruled that the sharing of NSA data with GCHQ was an illegal human rights violation up to December 2014, because there was no public legal rationale for the sharing. Now anyone can file a request seeking to learn whether their personal data was shared.
