Well, yes, good question :).
You can contact your MEP (and other representatives) at (http://www.writetothem.com/ http://www.writetothem.com/). This sort of thing often pops up in Europe and it would be a Pyrrhic victory to stop it in UK and then it gets made mandatory across Europe.
You can try and convince those around you that this is an issue and that they should do the same. Parents, friends, but perhaps also work colleagues and clients. (Any tips here would be welcome, I am a developer, not a salesman, so I just get "here he goes again" rolled eyes)
You can write/contribute/donate to organisations like Liberty or EFF that fight this sort of encroachment on our lives.
You could also get more active in politics yourself. I hear the UK Pirate Party is always looking for support.
- pmjordan 15y agoRegarding your first point, isn't this already an implementation of an EU directive? Specifically, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Retention_Directive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Retention_Directive Or has that already got an existing UK implementation, and this is just another layer of restrictions on freedom?
