Rejected petition Cancel Web Email SMS Monitoring

More details

Government has recently announced they will be able to monitor the calls, emails, texts and website visits of everyone in the UK under new legislation set to be announced soon.

We want the government to stop the introduction of the said legislation, which would constitute a breach of our privacy and lead us down an Orwellian plug hole.
