Petition Action

The UK Government should not have the right to monitor the calls, emails, texts and website visits of everyone in the UK

Additional Information

It is proposed that internet firms will be required to give intelligence agency GCHQ access to communications on demand, in real time. This is not acceptable in a free democratic society. I ask this of the "if you've nothing to hide, you've nothing to fear" brigade:
"Do you share your private life - what goes on behind your curtains, the contents of your credit card bill, bank account or your love letters - with others freely? No, of course not, even though you do nothing wrong, you STILL cherish the right to privacy.
I call on the Government to abandon this policy.
