Rejected petition stop plans to monitor web usage and emails

More details

The action we would like the government to take action on web monitoring. It infringes people right to privacy and people don't want their private information looked at without consent or permission from a magistrate.
People feel that it is a breech of their privacy to have their privacy exposed by the government and looked at by people from the GCHQ. The government should scrap these plans and stick to the old system of getting permission from a magistrate.
