British Intelligence Agency Also Spies On Facebook and YouTube

Is there anyone left out there NOT spying on us? At this point, it would be truly shocking to find a government agency that doesn't spy on you. frown

GCHQ has developed a toolkit of software programs used to manipulate online traffic, infiltrate users' computers and spread select messages across social media sites including Facebook and YouTube. The UK spy agency's dark arts were revealed in documents first published by The Intercept, and each piece of software is described in a wiki document written up by GCHQ's Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG). The document, which reads like a software inventory, calls the tools part of the agency's "weaponised capability."
