    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The UK tech industry has deep concerns over government plans to amend a law dubbed a “snooper’s charter”.

    The statement has been signed by more than a dozen bodies and individuals focused on the tech industry and human rights.

    In January, Apple told the BBC ministers were seeking to pre-approve new security features introduced by tech firms - something it said amounted to “unprecedented overreach”.

    The Investigatory Powers (Amendment) Bill will make urgent, targeted changes to reflect the reality of modern threats to national security whilst utilising the necessary tools to keep the public safe, underpinned by world-leading safeguards and oversight".

    The signatories to the statement include the the Computer and Communications Industry Association, the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, and the Internet Society, as well as human rights groups such as Liberty and Privacy International.

    “We continue reiterating the critical need for rigorous scrutiny, to ensure all concerns are addressed, as is appropriate for a Bill with such significant impacts,” they wrote.
