Stop the Draft Communications Data Bill.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

The proposed Communications Data Bill is unnecessary, unjust and Orwellian. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that most intelligence work is done without mass surveillance. Internet browsing data is highly private, may be miss-used in the future and will inevitably be accessed and leaked.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.
