The Communications Capabilities Development Programme (CCDP) is a UK government initiative to create a ubiquitous mass surveillance scheme for the United Kingdom.[1] It would involve the logging of every telephone call, email and text message between every inhabitant of the UK.[2][3]

It is the successor to the former Labour government's Interception Modernisation Programme,[2] which after apparently being cancelled, was revived by the Liberal-Conservative coalition government in their 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review.[4]

The scope of the CCDP extends beyond conventional telecommunications to attempt to log communications within social networking platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.[5]
