[cio] The government has denied that its 'Mastering the Internet' (MTI) project, which includes the development of technology to track emails and telephone calls in the UK, is an attempt at snooping.
The Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) admitted it was developing technology that could track emails and calls as part of a £1bn project but that said that it had only been created to keep pace with developments in internet technology and not to 'spy' on the UK public.
"GCHQ is not developing technology to enable the monitoring of all internet use and phone calls in Britain, or to target everyone in the UK. Similarly, GCHQ has no ambitions, expectations or plans for a database or databases to store centrally all communications data in Britain," the agency said.
