Rejected petition End the assault on our civil liberties

More details

The government has announced plans to introduce legislation that will allow them to monitor the public's calls, texts, emails and website visits.

The plans are a clear infringement of our civil liberties and our right to privacy, particularly with regard to technology.

We the petitioners call on the government to immediately drop these plans, and allow us to retain our liberties.
