Reamend Investigatory Powers Act to Protect Privacy and Security of UK Citizens
The Investigatory Powers Act has always been criticised for the UK Government's seemingly lack of concern and consideration for the privacy and security of its citizens, but these new proposed changes are disgraceful. We demand you reevaluate them before our nation becomes a surveillance state.
The Investigatory Powers Act was put into effect in 2016, granting the Home Office the power to gather information from its citizens (e.g., emails, texts & calls, online history) - a blatant infringement of our privacy and security, regardless of our actions.
The Home Office has now proposed even further measures, requiring social platforms to circumvent encryption to access users' messages, prompting companies like Apple to threaten withdrawing their services from the UK.
Reamend this act.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about legislation governing investigatory powers, but we're not sure exactly what changes you'd like to be made to this legislation.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
