Even if GCHQ somehow does not read all UK Internet traffic, the
American NSA does. This isn't a tinfoil hat comment; they really do,
there have been court cases about it. So if you send an email that
ends up going through equipment located in the US (like if you
emailed someone using gmail…), they probably read it.
https://www.eff.org/nsa-spying/faq
"…the NSA is intercepting and analyzing millions of ordinary
Americans' communications, with the help of the country's
largest phone and Internet companies. EFF has brought two
lawsuits to stop this illegal surveillance. In 2012, three NSA
whistleblowers came forward to confirm Mr. Klein’s evidence, as
well as other information about the warrantless surveillance."
In light of that, it seems a little naive to assume that any other
government would not do the same if they thought they could get away
with it. So just assume that multiple governments read all the
emails you send - it might be easier.
Cheers,
Andy
