The government has announced that it will be developing new ways to snoop on email and web traffic.

This Kafka-esque “Intercept Modernisation Plan”, was stopped near the end of the last government, but was quietly revived in the 2010 Spending Review (read more here) as the “Communications Capabilities Development Programme”. Now, closed-door discussions have been revealed: legislation will be proposed in May.

We need to tell the government to stop this wasteful, intrusive plan for wholesale snooping on our daily lives.
