The government has announced that it will be spending up to £2 billion into 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. While billions of pounds are being slashed from education, welfare and defence, the government plans to waste vast sums trying to snoop on our emails and Facebook communications.
We need to tell the government to stop this wasteful, intrusive plan for wholesale snooping on our daily lives.
