The last week, the European Court of justice - the highest court in the largest economy in the world - prohibits the conservation of coverage data, saying the federal law unconstitutional on the subject. The decision means a reversal to a previous state in which such supervision was a crime, organized crime. Yet the monitoring hawks deplore this decision and even calling for people to break it.
Data retention is the practice where government orders that logs all communications are stored, so they can be used against you later: you mentioned, of where, when, how, and so on. The actual conversation is not stored, but is often less sensitive than the fact that communication took place, when, where, and how.
The scope of the data collected, especially when looking at groups of people, positive cooling. Whenever someone made a communication - all communications - their location was recorded. Indeed, this was equivalent to registration of every action taken by the city in the daily lives of everyone.
Last week, the European Court of Justice outlawed the practice outright, saying that it violates fundamental rights to have such coverage monitoring - in particular, the right to privacy. (The specific decision was a strikedown of the Directive on data retention, a federal law requiring the retention of data in the EU, but the justification was very wide.) The court even anulled Directive retroactively, to be in power if serious violation she had never been in force.
monitoring hawks are not rested on their laurels, despairing about how they need data retention "to combat serious organized crime." And that, if anything, shows the immense hypocrisy of these monitoring falcons.
The highest court of the European Union has decided that collecting coverage data is criminal, and the idea of government imposing the state-wide coverage corresponds to collection right in the bull's eye "serious organized crime". Yet the monitoring hawks say they need to pursue this organized crime - in their own words, they need just to fight against organized crime
The hypocrisy is staggering and puts relentless light. on the justice system at two speeds which was gradually phased in over the past few decades. It goes without saying that their own organized crime was never meant to be questioned.
This corruption is deep. Take the Swedish police for example. In a statement on their website, they do not just criticize the decision; they immediately sprinkle around all the dust tale words used to justify monitoring ( "organizedcrime-childporn-terrorism" ), falsely claim that the EU directives (the "Federal Act") are replaced by laws at the state level, and is an outright call for a continuation of this organized crime even after the decision:
[The Chief of Police] hope that telecommunications operators a look for the best of society and maintains data retention, so that the police can continue to get access to historical communication logs.
Yes, you just saw a quote the principal conductor of the Swedish police calling for large-scale organized crime. not the struggle against it, but commit thereof. If this hypocrisy, I do not know what would . do you really expect this individual to say that laws are not applicable ? The laws that protect the rights on the same level as the right to life (yes, the right to life and the right to privacy rights are really on the same level)?
The cards were called. Monitoring hawks never after fighting organized crime. They are organized crime.
Privacy remains your own responsibility.
