Welcome to ORG

My mate Suw Charman talked to the BBC about the new digital rights organisation, the Open Rights Group (ORG), of which she is a co-founder. In the article, Suw talks about what the aims of ORG are and what their first campaign will focus on:

"We will initially be concentrating our efforts on Home Secretary Charles Clarke's proposed draft EU framework on data retention for ISPs and telecommunications companies," said Ms Charman.

"We believe that the proposal is not only both unnecessary and unworkable, but that it may also contravene the European Convention on Human Rights."
