UK Government Body Kept Files on Critics of Prevent Program
Original: UK Government Body Kept Files on People Criticizing Prevent Program
A UK government body responsible for the Prevent counter-extremism program reportedly kept files on people who criticized the program online. The disclosures raise concerns about surveillance of lawful dissent and the treatment of critics as potential security risks, prompting debate over civil liberties and how counter-extremism powers are being used against those questioning the policy itself.
Why now: Reports that a counter-extremism program monitored its own critics raise fresh civil liberties and surveillance concerns in the UK.
