It is naive for people to believe that a government will stop doing something simply because a court says so.

"Legal grounds" can mean anything.

What will happen to the data the the UK government has already been collecting for years? Will this go to the digital shredder? Unlikely. There are likely many backups, across multiple jurisdictions, stored for safekeeping and future use, among many other possibilities.

Stories like this have a noble intention, but anyone even mildly informed and educated knows not to trust anything a government would say.
