Company Overview:
***The protest has been set for 15th June***

Please read the following ground rules.
1. Use only the Home Office email address, not Ms Smith's personal address.
2. Please do not send them any abusive or pornographic material.
3. Do not send excessive amounts of email, and do not send mails with large attachments. We are NOT trying to break the Home Office email servers, we are just trying to make a protest.
4. Further to that, don't use this day to suddenly decide to email everyone you know.... (read more)
Mission:
The government has unveiled plans for a private company to run a "superdatabase" that will track all our emails, calls, texts, internet use and so on. This is an immense infringement of civil liberties, not to mention a major risk to our private data - but it won't make us any safer. The sheer amount of information that the Government intends to collect will be impossible to analyse properly and will undoubtedly turn up false positives while missing potential security threats amongst the morass of spam emails and private chat.

So, for one day (date TBC), we should send a message to the Home Office - "you want to see our emails? Ok then, here they are then!".

We do this by simply cc'ing or bcc'ing every email we send (and if you like, forwarding every email you receive), regardless of importance or content, to public.enquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk.
