BBC Monitoring also nowadays scrapes social media (and probably has access to data from Meta either officially or by posing as normal users) and feeds into GCHQ (they've been doing this since the Cold War, except previously it was more often done over the radio airwaves, but they were early adopters of online surveillance)
