I found it interesting for a few reasons. One, I don't think the deep web wants to be mined. Second, why are they creating a hackathon to do so?

Bearing in mind this is a Ministry of Defence project, maybe they once more feel the need to rustle up some support for an upcoming war?[1]

Flagged. Editorialising in title.

How so? Is this not a hackathon put on by the uk gov to mine data from the deep web?

What's wrong with the original title: "MOD hackathon to mine the Deep Web"?

Because it isn't clear what MOD is for a non UK resident (me)
