You can't control the internet. GCHQ needs to grow up and accept it

This is THE question.

Why the comments above bother to debate any other aspect is beyond me. It lends legitimacy to absolute non-sense.

And this BS about the world being different...the reality is that most crime is exactly the same as it's always been. And when your car gets stolen and you go to the police station to file a report (because they won't come to the scene of the crime to investigate), they'll still tell you they can't take the report because it's some other stations responsibility...

Is terrorism a new thing?

Because for some of us that question is hardly relevant. In a constitutional democracy the means don't justify the ends. Even if they were achieving a lot what they are doing would still be wrong.
