What the petition asks

Theresa May along with the government are about pass one of the most terrifying and dangerous security bills in the county's history.
Simply put, this law will allow to UK government to spy on every citizen's internet activity and their meta data.

The UK Government has no right to be spying on its own, law-abiding citizens and the law should be stopped in its tracks
