The government has unveiled plans for a private company to run a "superdatabase" that will track all our emails, calls, texts, internet use and so on. 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. The sheer amount of information that the Government intends to collect will be impossible to analyse properly and will undoubtedly turn up false positives while missing potential security threats amongst the morass of spam emails and private chat.
So, for one day, we should send a message to the Home Office - "you want to see our emails? Ok then, here they are!". We do this by simply cc'ing or bcc'ing every email we send, regardless of importance or content, to public.enquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk.
The date has been set for June 15th. Please enter your details below and we will keep you up-to-date from time to time, and send you confirmation that the protest is going ahead. Alternatively, you can become a fan at our Facebook page.
We will not share your email address with anyone else
