Dear David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Theresa May,
I do not want the government to try to intercept every UK email, facebook account and online communication. It would be pointless – as it will be easy for criminals to encrypt and evade – and expensive, costing everyone £2 billion. It would also be illegal: mass surveillance would be a breach of our fundamental right to privacy. Please cancel the Intercept Modernisation Plan.

The thing is all the real criminals will use encryption when is our government going to learn.
Then joe public will also start to use encryption untill it is the norm then what will they see?
Maybe it is time to start using VPN.

As you said BB, it will be easy for the real criminals and terrorists to subvert this legislation, so it's pointless as well as expensive.

Signed.

The coalition agreement promised to scrap the "surveillance state" plan and said it would "end the storage of internet and email records without good reason". However, the government's strategic defence and security review, published on 19 October 2010, disclosed its intentions to resurrect the Labour party's former project.
