Rejected petition Prevent The Home Secretary From Allowing GCHQ Search E-Mails Without A Warrant
More details
Theresa May MP, the home secretary, wants to allow GCHQ, the government's communication intelligence body, to access E-Mails without a warrant. Many people think that is unacceptable that our civil liberties must be curbed in the name of fighting terrorism.
I and many others want the government to overturn this draconian bill to keep what is private, private. I do not oppose searching if there is a legitimate reason and a warrant,it is just searching through innocent people's emails is no matter of the state.
