Tony Bunyan's "View from the EU" column (Guardian, link): "Journalists, lawyers and activists beware – the state can watch what you are doing on your computer. We all know that the state can monitor our phone calls, faxes, internet usage, travel movements, financial transactions and soon our health records too. But what about when we put pen to paper, or rather fingers on the keyboard?"

Our work is only possible with your support.
