An online petition will start shortly on this. Dave ------ OPEN LETTER CONCERNING THE REGULATION OF INVESTIGATORY POWERS BILL We wish to express our opposition to the UK government's Regulation of Investigatory Powers (RIP) bill. We agree that the government has a duty to protect public safety, but the RIP bill is neither an acceptable nor a responsible means of achieving this goal. We are deeply concerned that the bill will inhibit the development of the Internet and e-commerce, while creating a range of onerous and unfair impositions on individuals, organisations and companies. The bill substantially increases the power of law enforcement and security agencies, and yet provides wholly inadequate measures for authorisation and oversight. The ability of Government to demand decryption keys creates a dangerous precedent which will affect the rights of all computer users. Surveillance of website visits will undermine confidence in the Internet as a means of communication. We urge the government to withdraw the bill. Any subsequent legislation should, at the very least, provide stringent limitations and oversight to ensure that it does not violate the rights to liberty, fair trial, freedom of expression, freedom of association, and privacy.
