I'm glad to see this happening. The programmes are unquestionably a breach of the ECHR; human rights violations on an unprecedented scale.
Alas, if the PRISM/Tempora/etc. scandal has taught us one thing, it's that governments consider themselves above the law.
Even in the exceptionally unlikely event that these complaints were upheld, and the government were held to account for their actions, the public have no way of verifying the programmes are dismantled, and not reassembled in a different guise.
It's over. There is no trust in government anymore.
