Mass surveillance

Your government knows a lot about you. It's likely that they are storing your private emails, calls, internet searches, locations, and more. The UK is one of the main culprits.

We have a right to privacy and free speech, which mass surveillance violates. In the wrong hands, our sensitive information can be used against us, and endanger our lives.
