In this case the headline covers wether this latest activity did break one of those laws: > UK intelligence agency admits unlawfully spying on Privacy International There's a lot of law that limits the activities of states in general, and when government oversteps these bounds it's a big deal because when they continue to do it you risk the foundations of the state itself, allowing for authoritarianism, dictators etc. etc.
