Welcome to Oversight. You're now part of the front line that protects our country from
terrorists, predators, illegal immigrants and benefit fraudsters. Thank you for volunteering.
Oversight is contracted by the government to operate their automated filter. The filter
looks at every bit of internet traffic that travels through the UK. When it finds something
suspicious, it'll pass it on to you or one of the thousands of volunteers like yourself.
When you log in to your dashboard, you'll see a list of possible incidents. Click on
any to investigate.
Is this a jokey email between friends, or a serious incident worth reporting to the
police? You've got the tools to find out. You can read the subject lines of emails;
the web sites they've visited; information from social networks; location history; credit
card purchases; and information about their friends and family.
If you need to access more personal information, like the contents of their emails and documents,
or the individual web pages they've read, click to apply for a search warrant: it'll
normally be granted within 15 to 30 seconds. In many cases, this isn't necessary: 34% of
UK adults have opted-in to our Clearway program, giving you immediate access to help prevent
crime.
If you find someone too difficult to investigate, don't waste time: immediately escalate to
a supervisor. We find that deliberately hiding your tracks is usually a sign of criminal
activity.
Thanks to our agreements with Oversight's sister companies around the world, that same
information is now available about citizens of over 70 countries. If you speak a second
language, you may sometimes be assigned to jurisdictions outside the UK. Legal and social
restrictions in other countries may differ from your own: remember to be impartial, and
follow the instructions on screen.
And finally: don't tell your friends that you're part of our team. Our filtering systems
are effective because they're universal: there really is no way to avoid them, and you never
know who might be part of Oversight... including that person you're bragging to.
So thank you once again for volunteering. With your help, we can keep ourselves, our
children, and our world safe.
