EU Data Retention Directive rejected as Unconstitutional by Czechs
http://j.mp/gHrv9r (Open Rights Group)
Data retention has been rejected as unconstitutional in the Czech
republic. The EU Directive, pushed forward by the UK, creates an
obligation to store everyone's traffic data, such as who you email or
call on your phone, for possible use in criminal investigations. This
rejection follows a similar rejection in Romania, limitations in
Germany and failure to implement in Sweden. There is an ongoing
challenge by Digital Rights Ireland.
