Rejected petition Abandon monitoring the telephone calls, emails, texts and website visits of everyone in the UK

More details

We call on the Government to abandon attempts to monitor the calls, emails, texts and website visits of everyone in the UK. The ability of the Government to monitor legal activities should not ever be automatic in a free country. Targeted permission to monitor an individual or group is available from Judges under current legislation.
