6 hours, privacy law and digital freedom

Everyday we are all dealing with information overloads. So as a friendly reminder, I would like to let you know that a little less than 6 hours remain for a government consultation on a draft privacy and data protection law. 

Today is the last day to send in comments.

A privacy law will determine important issues for our digital freedoms and society. From how our personal data is used by the government --- compulsory ID schemes, mass surveillance --- to how private parties profit off it, and yes, even permit interference in elections by micro-targetting of propaganda.

I know many may want to send in comments but don't know how. 

Follow the steps below to send your feedback.

• Download this handy guide we have prepared. You can use it to draw up your own submissions or just attach to a statement that you agree with it (I also encourage people to draw up their own submissions, to help, read the guides and explainers over specific issues).
• Click here to go the government website and participate.

I urge you to please participate and ask the government to protect us, not large data brokers, or surveillance programs and compulsory biometric schemes which take away our freedoms.
