   The Investigatory Powers Amendment Bill returns to the UK Parliament today.

   The Bill could force tech companies to apply to the Home Office before introducing updates to improve the security and privacy of their products.

   This will extend the government’s powers for mass surveillance and undermines safeguards and restrictions that ensure our online interactions are safe and secure.

   These powers must be dropped.
