What the petition asks
The UN privacy chief has called the IP Bill 'worse than scary'. The bill means that:
-12 months of web history cam be stored
-Security services can legally hack into computers, servers, mobile devices and more
-Bulk collection of data can take place.

This is unacceptable.
The UN has warned that this bill 'undermines' the right to privacy - we agree.
It is a privacy breach and should be reversed as soon as possible.
