Good to see some folks are continuing to take up the fight, I must admit to not having heard of this group before  :?

An organisation committed to fighting for people's digital rights in the UK is celebrating its first birthday
"Information should be in the hands of people and not governments and business,","It was awareness of the lack of any kind of central body doing it in this country," said Mr Holloway, explaining the need for such a body.
"In the states they are further along.

We model ourselves on the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
"They have been able to make a real impact on media and in people's minds as to what abuses there are of our digital rights."
We are gathering information, documenting examples of abuses

Mr Holloway, Org's Operations Manager, said the group and its supporters were fighting a "guerrilla war" against organisations and governments who were systematically eroding people's rights in the digital age

Here is their homepage

I hope to see more of their activities in the future.
