    It’s not enshrined anywhere but it should be covered under the Humans Rights Act of 1998 in the UK that outlines what constitutes the right to privacy. Since this Backdoor request has the potential to conflict with privacy rights, not only us the public but many people who work on these issues should be given access.

      A right to privacy is not at all the same as the right to know, in many cases it’s the exact opposite.

        Never said it is and it’s not something I was looking to discuss when I commented on the thread. We can keep on the subject above on the courts ruling in favour of the non-secrecy request. If you don’t agree that’s okay with me 👍
