Title: Plan to monitor all web use denied
Post by: Simon on May 04, 2009, 10:34

GCHQ - the Government's secret electronic eavesdropping agency - issued a rare public statement to deny it is pressing ahead with plans to monitor all internet use and telephone calls in the UK.

The organisation said that a reported £1 billion "snooping" project at GCHQ's hi-tech complex at Cheltenham was simply intended to enable the organisation keep pace with developments in internet technology.
