We denounce the “troubling lack of transparency about what happens to the information gathered through this social media monitoring [by the Standards and Compliance Unit]:
how long it is retained, who it is shared with, and ultimately what the [UK] government is using it for.”

We’re clear that “Prevent has expanded far beyond its stated aim of identifying people considered “vulnerable to radicalisation”, and has increasingly been used to justify extensive surveillance.” Criticising the programme for its many faults shouldn’t lead to getting put on a database. #Prevent #surveillance #freedomofexpression #ukpolitics #ukpol
