The Civil Pages is a computer system that acts as a private social media site for the UK Civil Service. It was set up by The National Archives on behalf of the Cabinet Office.[1] It debuted shortly after an incident where the head of MI6 was identified in a holiday snap on Facebook.[citation needed] The head of the Civil Service, Gus O’Donnell described civil pages as ‘… the Facebook of the Civil Service … without the man in the Speedos’. The system is based on Confluence, an enterprise wiki from Atlassian and was developed by Adaptavist.[2]
