Two MPs have won a High Court battle over laws which they say allow the police and security services to "spy on citizens" without proper safeguards.
The government said it "disagreed absolutely" with the court's ruling and would seek to appeal.
David Davis and Tom Watson argued the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act was incompatible with human rights.
It was fast-tracked through Parliament last July, allowing security agencies to gather phone and internet data.
Two High Court judges have now found that the act is "inconsistent with EU law".
