show me yours

As Theresa May moves from the Home Office to Number 10, it is perhaps timely to reflect on public attitudes to surveillance as evidenced in Liberty’s campaign film “Show me yours” in April of this year. In the film (shown below), comedian Olivia Lee pursues members of the public with the intention of taking details from their mobile phones of all their recent communications or browsing activity. The reactions of the people approached speak for themselves. Unfortunately, Liberty research suggests that 75% of adults in the UK had never heard of the impending legislation laid out in the Investigatory Powers Bill.
