Link: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/09/13/0128222 Posted by: timothy, on 2004-09-13 08:31:00 from the but-they're-offering-a-free-backup-service dept. [1]Ville Oksanen writes "Privacy International (PI) and European Digital Rights (EDRI) have published their [2]joint answer to [3]the consultation on mandatory data retention. The European Commission asked for public comments on a proposed retention regime across Europe between 12 and 36 months for all traffic data generated by using fixed and mobile telephony and Internet. As [4]Statewatch puts it: 'This is a proposal so intrusive that Ashcroft, Ridge and company can only dream about it, exceeding even the U.S. Patriot Act.' EDRI and PI are currently collecting endorsements from organizations and companies for their stamement [5]here. This is unfortunately not enough to stop the process - expecially more should be done in the member states, which ultimately decide the fate of the proposal. So contact your local politicians today!"
