GCHQ are vigorously in denial of the revelations of the publications below that it is spending more than £1bn on monitoring and analysis equipment under a secret project called Mastering the Internet.They have published a press release/statement on their website GCHQ.
This project is already well under way, it was started more than a year ago. Read the rest at The Register.
Press Release :
"we will not disclose information about our operations and methods" (shh.. it's a secret).
"The new technology that GCHQ is developing is designed to work under the existing legal framework. It is an evolution of current capability within current accountability and oversight arrangements The Intelligence Services Act 1994 and the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 underpin activities at GCHQ - both existing systems and those we are planning and building at the moment.The purposes for which interception may be permitted are set out explicitly in the legislation: national security, safeguarding our economic well being and the prevention and detection of serious crime".
Safeguarding our economic well-being? What the fuck is that?
