Rejected petition NO to monitoring of Calls, Emails, Texts and Website visits

More details

Under proposed legislation, the government will be able to monitor the calls, emails, texts and website visits of EVERYONE in the UK. Not just if you're a suspect, not just if you're speaking to someone under investigation, but EVERYONE. Without a warrant. Without a reason.

Why do they need to do this? They say that it is "vital" to protect the public, and that if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. I say that whilst a police state is a secure state, CIVIL LIBERTIES COME FIRST.
