Meet Jim Killock, Open Rights Group's Executive Director

Join us for a special opportunity to meet and talk to Jim Killock, Open Rights Group's Executive Director.

Jim will be talking about what Government's plans for new surveillance laws could mean for our human rights. Will the new law turn us from a nation of citizens into a nation of suspects?

This autumn, the Government is hoping to pass the Investigatory Powers Bill into law. If passed, the law could give authorities the power to collect and store for 12 months the electronic communications of every UK citizen, including:

• Web browsing history - a record of every site you visited and the pages you viewed

• Every person you've communicated with via phone, email, SMS, SnapChat, etc etc) of every UK citizen, irrespective of whether they are suspected of a crime.

The Government is also looking at ways of weakening data encryption, which is essential to the modern digital society and protecting user's privacy and security.

Do the Government's plans risk turning us from a nation of citizens into a nation of suspects?

Is the Investigatory Powers Bill consistent with human rights?

What can be done to stop the Investigatory Powers Bill becoming law?
