Cyber-Rights.Net Launch - November 2000

Following the introduction of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, security and privacy of communications has become a real concern for Internet users in the UK. Restrictive measures for intercepting all forms of communications are also proposed by the Council of Europe and therefore concerns for private communications extend to an international stage. For raising public awareness of these important policy issues and to encourage Internet users to use secure and encrypted communications, Cyber-Rights & Cyber-Liberties (UK) decided to launch the Cyber-Rights.Net project based upon the Hushmail technology.

Both organisations are committed to the protection of private communications over the Internet. The project is fully supported by Hush Communications for an initial period of three months beginning from November 2000. During this time, any Internet user can get a free account through the http://www.cyber-rights.net website and start using secure web based e-mail.
