Comments on: DRI challenge to Data Retention http://www.digitalrights.ie/2006/07/29/dri-challenge-to-data-retention/ Civil, Legal and Human Rights in a Digital Age Fri, 23 Jul 2010 13:08:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Strijd bewaarplicht met grondrechten eindelijk getoetst door Europese rechter – Bits of Freedom http://www.digitalrights.ie/2006/07/29/dri-challenge-to-data-retention/comment-page-1/#comment-128354 Strijd bewaarplicht met grondrechten eindelijk getoetst door Europese rechter – Bits of Freedom Thu, 06 May 2010 11:56:56 +0000 http://www.digitalrights.ie/2006/07/29/dri-challenge-to-data-retention/#comment-128354 [...] Digital Rights Ireland, de Ierse collega van Bits of Freedom, boekt met de doorverwijzing een belangrijk succes. In Duitsland, Roemenië en Bulgarije is de bewaarplicht al ongrondwettig verklaard. In tegenstelling tot deze landen, kent Nederland  geen Consitutioneel Hof. Daarom is de toetsing van wetten aan de fundamentele rechten bij ons moeilijk te realiseren. Maar als het Europese Hof van Justitie in Luxemburg de richtlijn strijdig met onze grondrechten verklaart worden alle Europeanen in een klap verlost van de richtlijn bewaarplicht. [...] [...] Digital Rights Ireland, de Ierse collega van Bits of Freedom, boekt met de doorverwijzing een belangrijk succes.

DRI Chairman TJ McIntyre said: These laws require telephone companies and internet service providers to spy on all customers, logging their movements, their telephone calls, their emails, and their internet access, and to store that information for up to three years. This information can then be accessed without any court order or other adequate safeguard. We believe that this is a breach of fundamental rights. We have written to the Government raising our concerns but, as they have failed to take any action, we are now forced to start legal proceedings.

Don’t even get me started on the religious right, currently trying to stop hotels in the US from allowing their customers to view porn, and who I have no doubt will start resurfacing in a big way in Ireland Real Soon Now. So given the way we’re going, it’s not hard to imagine one of these right-wing nutjob governments “recommending” that sites install a listener for them, monitoring at the outset for visits to known dodgy sites, say terrorist and paedophile hangouts. Then comes the black box, and we don’t know what they’re storing.
