  The petition already has a response from government > The Investigatory Powers Act dramatically increases transparency around the use of investigatory powers. It protects both privacy and security and underwent unprecedented scrutiny before becoming law.

    Basically they were already doing it, and it was becoming a concern that it was illegal, so they retroactively fixed that pesky law, as stopping was never an option.

    Can I assume the response from the government isn't an alternative to the Parliamentary debate? It's not like "petitions that receive enough signatures will receive a response from the government or a debate in Parliament"?
