The government has unveiled plans that will require Internet Service Providers to track all our emails, calls, texts, internet use and so on. There is currently a consultation on these plans - or should I say "plan", as there is only 1 option given.This is an immense infringement of civil liberties, not to mention a major risk to our private data - but it won't make us any safer.

"No government of any colour is to be trusted with such a roadmap to our souls":
Ken McDonald, former head of the CPS.

The government has unveiled plans that will require Internet Service Providers to track all our emails, calls, texts, internet use and so on. There is currently a consultation on these plans - or should I say "plan", as there is only 1 option given.

This is an immense infringement of civil liberties, not to mention a major risk to our private data - but it won't make us any safer.

So, for one day, we should send a message to the Home Office - "you want to see our emails? Ok then, here they are then!". We do this by simply cc'ing or bcc'ing every email we send (and if you like, forwarding every email you receive), regardless of importance or content, to the consultation email address:  communicationsdataconsultation@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk
