An anonymous reader writes with Ars Technica's story on the relevations reported today by The Intercept (https://theintercept.com/2015/09/25/gchq-radio-porn-spies-track-web-users-online-identities/) that the UK's GCHQ has beentracking World Wide Web users since 2007 (http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/09/gchq-tried-to-track-web-visits-of-every-visible-user-on-internet/), with an operation called "Karma Police" -- "a program that tracked Web browsing habits of people around the globe in what the agency itself billed as the 'world's biggest' Internet data-mining operation, intended to eventually track 'every visible user on the Internet.'"
