Now the NSA is Stealing your Yahoo Web Chat Photos and Giving Them to the Brits?

I'm sure they have endless terabytes of naked selfies to comb through looking for terrorists.

How invasive was this program? According to leaked documents obtained by The Guardian, “in one six-month period in 2008 alone, the agency collected webcam imagery — including substantial quantities of sexually explicit communications — from more than 1.8 million Yahoo user accounts globally.” The documents show that GCHQ began bulk data collection from Yahoo online video chats because “Yahoo webcam is known to be used by GCHQ targets.”

I'm sure Mary Anne and her BF web chatting while he is away on a band field trip to the Idaho Famous Potato Bowl in Boise is a matter of national security. Maybe she is secretly an Al-Quida sympathizer. So NSA Chief Clapper needs to make sure what color her bra is and how many New Edition posters she has on her wall. 

I love that half-assed "I no longer care" reasoning the GCHQ had as well. Al-Quida is known to use Yahoo video chats so we need to record every single one just in case. It is like saying "Al-Quida uses hard drives so we need to download every kilobyte of data generated in the world" just in case. Maybe this will finally get some people to raise up when they realize that there is some NSA database somewhere that has their naked selfies all ready for some NSA spook to ogle.
