New trade deals threaten the UK’s internet
As the UK negotiates new trade deals, our government is under enormous pressure to water down privacy protections.
Open Rights Group (ORG) is pushing for more transparency and democratic engagement in negotiations to ensure our digital rights are not traded away.
Your privacy is not for sale
Tell your MPs to ensure the new UK-Japan trade deal protects privacy.
Contact your MP nowWe need democratic oversight now.
The UK government’s objectives for the free trade agreement (FTA) with the US include measures that could define British regulation of the internet and our online activities for years to come. Negotiations should be conducted with the highest levels of democratic participation, including a greater role for Parliament than currently afforded in the law.
Proposals presented by the US in their digital trade objectives will severely impact internet regulation by controlling the building blocks of digital technology: data flows, source code and algorithms.
