There was a huge backlash caused by the Snowden revelations and JTRIG certainly got massive attention at the time.

Unfortunately there's no obvious way to stop it because politicians appear to believe spy agencies should be unaccountable and above the law.

So, some people at the GCHQ have discussed doing these things. However, is there any evidence that they've actually done a whole lot?

I don't really consider Isreal a Western country, but in any case, that is interesting.
