Rejected petition Drop the internet and communications security bill

More details

We the people want the new 'security' measures to be dropped by the government.
Whilst tracking of potential terrorist seems a good idea, the people do not deserve to be mistrusted and have their privacy violated all for the sake of a potential one or two terrorists you believe you may get from this unjustified action.
Our democracy is above that of China and Iran and as such should not be opressed by our government in the same way.
