GCHQ - What are you doing?
Honesty from GCHQ
I am impressed
More Truth
GCHQ saying they just keep the metadata
GCHQ should really be saying they index the metadata live, every second
GCHQ save all of the data that is flagged from the meta & index it
GCHQ then delete all of the unimportant information after it has been scanned a few times
GCHQ keeps the data it needs
GCHQ only accesses the data when it needs it from flags on the meta or flags of the user (usually from an ongoing case - found via the previous meta)
