OK, let me get this straight..

However, a Briton communicating with an overseas data centre, such as a Google search or a Twitter tweet, is seen as carrying out an external communication as the ‘recipient’ is the overseas server.

Do this translate as "every company and user that uses Gmail (being in the US) thus makes their traffic legally accessible to GCHQ"? Wow.
