Don’t Violate our Rights to Privacy online and Protect It

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Protect our rights to privacy. Imagine waking up one morning knowing that everything you do on your personal device is scrutinized by the government or law enforcement. The freedom to have private conversations, share precious moments through photos and videos with loved ones, suddenly vanished.

This is not a hypothetical scenario - it's a reality we are facing in the United Kingdom. Recent proposals by the UK government aim to erode our fundamental rights to privacy by scanning personal data such as photos, videos, and messages. This blatant invasion of privacy strikes deep at the heart of our freedoms. We cherish the freedom to express ourselves without fear, to communicate our thoughts, and to share stories in confidence. The government's threatens to dismantle these freedoms.
