Page seems unclear about what the actual intent is. First it simply says "demanding that they finally come clean" i.e. inform you if your communications have been intercepted, but then you have to agree "...to request my records to be deleted."
What if I want to know the former, just out of curiosity, but I'm not that bothered about demanding my records be deleted, depending on what was intercepted?
- etiam 12y agoNot that unclear on a closer look. From the FAQ at https://privacyinternational.org/?q=node/495 https://privacyinternational.org/?q=node/495 : "Why are we doing this? Intelligence agencies' culture of secrecy have allowed them, for too long, to avoid public accountability. Whether it’s secret hearings in closed court rooms or committees equipped only with rubber stamps, intelligence agencies like GCHQ have never been forced to answer to the public for their actions. We think you have a right to know whether you have been caught up in GCHQ and NSA's illegal intelligence sharing. If so, you have a right to demand that data be deleted. Privacy International wants to help you assert those rights."
- bjornsing 12y agoExactly my first thought. I'd love to sign off on the first part of that, but "...to request my records to be deleted." Not so sure I want that (which goes to show I guess that I'm more concerned with the rule of law than the actual "privacy" of my communications).
