Communications Capabilities Development Program

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Communications Capabilities Development Program , or CCDP , is a draft law prepared by the Home Office (UK Home Office ), UK Home Security MI5 , UK Foreign Intelligence Service MI6 and Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) to set up a centralized surveillance database for the UK.

The UK government wants to monitor messages, calls, emails, websites visited, Facebook and Twitter activity and even online game chat rooms. The data should then be stored for at least a year and made available to the secret services. The project is a resumption of a legislative proposal by the Labor government in April 2009 that had already failed because of the high costs and criticism from data protectionists .

criticism

  • Nick Pickle , Director of Big Brother Watch criticized the CCDP: “The UK is already offline [such as video cameras] one of the most monitored countries in the world and the [law] is now a shameful attempt to monitor everything we do online as well. "
  • Jim Killock , director of the Open Rights Group said, "No state in history has been able to get the amount of information it was supposed to - it's a way to collect everything we talk about, just in case could develop something out of it ”.
