End-to-end encryption is an essential security tool that protects our personal data, including our bank details, health information, private conversations and images. That's why alongside Privacy International, we're challenging the Technical Capability Notice (TCN) regime.

Digital ID may be scrapped, but privacy concerns remain. This failed policy has revealed the public's worries about privacy, our data, and the Government's approach to digital services. Recent polling we conducted backs this up.

A big win from the King's Speech re: facial recognition. We've been long calling for a dedicated legal framework to govern the use of this tech. Robust safeguards and oversight should have been in place before it was ever introduced to our town centres and high streets.

What’s actually going on with digital ID? We’ve read through and responded to the Government’s public consultation that closed last week. There’s a huge gap between the government’s claims that its plans for digital ID centre privacy and control, and the system it has actually proposed.

NEW 🚨 12 British universities have paid a private firm run by former military intelligence officials to “spy” on student protesters and academics including those who have expressed solidarity with Palestine. Read the full story with @aljazeera.com www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/...

Chat with investigative journalist Aaron Walawalkar at drop-in sessions in Bristol this week. Aaron's Campus Accountability Mapping Project (CAMP) is tracking pressures on student protest in the UK. He’s keen to hear from students and staff involved in campus activism. More: campusprotest.org.uk

Today, we gave evidence in Parliament on protest in the UK. We raised concerns of the raft of anti-protest laws we’ve seen over the last five years, including new legislation passed just last night that restricts repeat demonstrations.

Today, we joined the mass lobby of Parliament to demand the Government drop harsh new anti-protest powers from the Crime and Policing Bill. Protest has given us some of our most cherished rights and freedoms. It's essential to a healthy democracy, and must be protected.

The Gov’s digital ID scheme is part of a broader pattern of weakening our rights and protections online. The consultation is our chance have our say and demand a system which respects our rights, makes it easier to access services, and keeps our data safe.

The definition of terrorism in the UK is so broad that it risks sweeping protest into counter-terror powers. That’s why we're calling for a redefinition of terrorism in the UK.

“The idea that democracy can survive without the rule of law - and that does mean domestic and international law - is wrong.” - Baroness Chakrabarti

“We need to tell the good news stories, and how much good the Human Rights Act and the European Convention on Human Rights have done.” - Baroness Hale

Our director @akikohart.bsky.social is hosting a special panel tonight, discussing protecting the ECHR and the rule of law with Baroness Chakrabarti and Baroness Hale. We’re privileged to have these incredible women with us to have this conversation at such a crucial time.

🚨Facial recognition technology misidentified an innocent man, leading to his arrest. This is why we need clear and urgent safeguards in place to protect us from the dangers of this tech.

Protest is not a privilege – it’s our fundamental right. But the Gov's Crime and Policing Bill will give police powers to shut down protests and criminalise people for taking to the streets. Take action today: https://secure.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/page/180398/action/1?ea.tracking.id=socials

Liberty supporters shared their concerns about Government plans to ban face coverings at protests. This law, if passed in the Crime and Policing Bill, will make it unsafe for them to protest and limit their voices. Our right to protest must be protected. For everybody. No exceptions.

Let's make 2026 a year of standing up to power. Here's three ways you can take action TODAY 🧵👇

The Home Office has FINALLY announced a public consultation on how police are using unregulated facial recognition tech. But it's being rapidly rolled out to town centres across the country. Join us in calling for safeguards on how its being used. action.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/page/182163/...

Protest makes our democracy more resilient, our government more responsive and our society more inclusive. But proposed anti-protest powers would make it almost impossible for people to make their voices heard. Join us in opposing this: https://secure.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/page/180398/action/1

The data already showed facial recognition technology is racially biased. But police deploying the technology they knew was biased is even more alarming. This is exactly why strong safeguards are urgently needed.
