Investigatory Powers Act to be challenged in court
The rights campaigning organisation Liberty is launching a legal challenge to the Investigatory Powers Act – legislation that allows the state monitor everybody’s web history and email, text and phone records, and hack computers, phones and tablets on an industrial scale.
Liberty is seeking a High Court judicial review of the core bulk powers in the “Snoopers’ Charter” – and is calling on the public to help it take on the challenge by donating via crowdfunding platform CrowdJustice.
