This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Repeal the law that allows the government to monitor a persons entire internet use at will.
More details
On the 1st April the government has announced plans to introduce new legislation that allows the government to monitor a persons calls, emails, texts and website visits. This was introduced under the false premise of protecting citizens to deceive.
We condemn regimes that curtail civil liberties yet we do not stand up for your own. Every person has a right to a private life and it is not for anyone, let alone the government to take.
In a time when people are struggling to earn a living, it is unjust to add insult to injury by curtailing human rights.
