Rejected petition GCHQ Using Angry Birds To Gather Data

More details

The idea of using a smartphone app to gather data from the general public is dreadful. It's supposed to be fighting terrorism but it's also invading everyone's privacy, it gathers too much unnecessary data.

The only reasonable course of action is to simply remove this feature, it is an absolute invasion of everyone's privacy.
