The Register, as they usually do, have chosen to put the most sensationalist slant on this possible. "communications data" does not mean the content of the message. Communications data is strictly about the meta-data. None of these organisations are given access to the content of messages. And intercepts (the actual contents of the messages) are inadmissible in court.
