The Guardian's latest scoop is at once horrifying and kind of funny.

Britain's surveillance agency GCHQ, with aid from the US National Security Agency, intercepted and stored the webcam images of millions of internet users not suspected of wrongdoing, secret documents reveal.

GCHQ files dating between 2008 and 2010 explicitly state that a surveillance program codenamed Optic Nerve collected still images of Yahoo webcam chats in bulk and saved them to agency databases, regardless of whether individual users were an intelligence target or not.

The documents also chronicle GCHQ's sustained struggle to keep the large store of sexually explicit imagery collected by Optic Nerve away from the eyes of its staff, though there is little discussion about the privacy implications of storing this material in the first place

One could imagine an In the Loop-style dark comedy about the bureaucrats tasked to somehow screen out all the dick pics in the hunt for some legitimate terrorism data. The more of these kinds of stories I read, the more I agree with Brendan Kiley: Off or on, no webcam is safe.
