bendechrai / Altered Assistance and Access Bill text 2018
Created September 4, 2018 22:50
Dear Minister
I write to express my concerns over the draft legislation titled 'The Assistance and Access Bill 2018', and outline these concerns below.
1. This Bill would harm cybersecurity
This Bill would require companies to provide information about how their systems work. It would allow more people physical access to networks. It would require organisations to test and install new functionality built by the government. These measures would undoubtedly introduce new threats and vulnerabilities into the systems that we all use each day.
2. This Bill would lead to an increase in government hacking

This can take up to an hour, so starting in `screen` will allow you to come back later :)
