More than eight out of 10 internet users believe browsing history should be kept private, according to a survey.
The poll, commissioned by the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust one year after US whistleblower Edward Snowdon leaked top-secret files revealing the activities of UK and US intelligence agencies, showed 85% believe it is "fairly important", "very important" or "essential" to keep browsing records private.
Only 12% believe it is not important, the survey conducted by Ipsos Mori showed.
... The Don't Spy On Us campaign is a coalition of freedom of expression and privacy campaigners including ARTICLE19, Big Brother Watch, English PEN, Liberty, Open Rights Group and Privacy International.
Results were based on a face-to-face survey of 1,958 Britons aged 15 and over conducted between 25 April and 3 May.
