Keeping your data secure is crucial to making sure you’re safe online, whether it’s your passwords, bank details, private messages or even medical records.

However, despite all of the threats posed by hackers today, Theresa May wants to force companies to weaken their security measures -- the very tools that allow us to keep our data safe.

By forcing companies to allow the government access to their systems, the risk of hackers being able to steal our personal details could skyrocket.

Tell Theresa May to drop the plans -- now.

Data encryption helps to keep our personal information safe online. It’s used by all sorts of services -- from messaging apps and online banking to government websites and hospitals.

Encryption helps protect our personal information and helps prevent it from being intercepted by hackers and criminals.

But Theresa May wants to change all that, forcing companies to weaken their security measures -- which could make it much easier for hackers to find a way to steal them.

Many people in the tech industry, and even the former head of Mi5, have lined up to criticise these short-sighted and dangerous plans. But May seems determined to push ahead with the move regardless.

But if we come together to send a message, we can stop May in her tracks. We’ve stood up many times before for protecting privacy online -- tens of thousands of our members in the US were instrumental in protecting net neutrality rules, while here in the UK we helped stall the sale of NHS records to big businesses.

Tell Theresa May to protect our privacy -- and drop these reckless plans.
