Sam Grant

activist

Sam Grant is a prominent civil rights advocate and the head of policy at the civil liberties group Liberty, known for his strong stance on privacy rights and government overreach. He has been vocal about issues relating to data protection and the implications of surveillance laws, particularly in the context of the UK's Investigatory Powers Act. Recently, he expressed cautious optimism following reports that the UK government may have backed down from its controversial demand for Apple to create a 'backdoor' to access encrypted user data, which he and other privacy advocates consider a serious threat to civil liberties.
