Liberty is crowdfunding a lawsuit to challenge the Snoopers Charter

mostlysignssomeportents:

Liberty UK and The Civil Liberties Trust are raising funds online to fund high-stakes litigation against the UK government over the Snoopers Charter, a mass-surveillance law that requires tech companies and telcos to retain everything you do online and hand it over to government, law enforcement, and private contractors without warrants or even minimal record-keeping.

The law’s forerunner has already been ruled unconstitutional by Europe’s top court, and this litigation will force a UK judicial review of this legislation, bringing it one step closer to its unmarked grave.

I donated £100.
