What the petition asks
On Wednesday 16th November, after four years of opposition, the UK Government backed by Theresa May passed the most invasive breach of the UK people's right to privacy by passing the Snoopers Charter, despite fierce opposition from the people the Government serves.
The new law forces all internet service providers to record all domains visited for one full year, recorded in live time. They must, on demand, give this data over to authorities, decrypt encrypted data, as well as detailing all security measures they launch to the government.
The law also gives intelligence agencies full rights to hack into your computer, any time, any reason, with no questions asked.
This is the most invasive, degrading breach of our rights in a modern age.
Repeal 1984.
