Rejected petition Drop plans to enable government surveillance without warrant

More details

The government are expected to pass a law enabling the monitoring of communications and online activities of UK citizens without need for a warrant. This includes details of email, phone and SMS interactions (who and when), and which websites people have visited. This is an appalling violation of our civil liberties and we want these plans to be dropped.
