One thing that particularly upsets me about #CCDP is that it’s a step towards a British #CALEA (HT #Netflix)
As my former colleague Dave Walker touched upon in a comment in this blog there is a massive question over who has to provide CCDP interception capability if you’re a British Communication Service Provider.

HEADSUP: Scrambling For Safety Conference: London, Thursday 19th April (next week) #ccdp #privacy #security
