  1. From records of food insecurity (#hunger) to the costs of natural disasters to the causes of infant mortality, (and others) the federal government is no longer recording and preserving data on significant national risks and policies.

  2. Der Referentenentwurf zur IP-Adressspeicherung des Justizministeriums setzt auf Generalverdacht: Drei Monate anlasslose Überwachung für alle!

    Dabei gibt es gar keine empirische Notwendigkeit für eine Vorratsdatenspeicherung, denn es geht längst ohne, und sonst gibt es grundrechtsschonende Alternativen.

    Veraltete Behördenstrukturen dürfen kein Argument für Massenüberwachung sein.

  3. "EU governments are pushing to widen data retention obligations for apps that citizens use every day – and the best VPN apps are among those targeted.

    A new internal document dated November 27 (first published by Netzpolitik) provides important insights into the current thinking of the Danish Presidency of the EU Council. It shows that member states largely agree on the need for a new framework on data retention, presenting an important overview of lawmakers main position on the matter.

    The topic has been debated since April, when the EU Commission first unveiled "ProtectEU," a strategy aiming to create a roadmap for "lawful and effective access to data for law enforcement." The Commission then presented the Roadmap in June, which outlined an intent to decrypt citizens' private data by 2030.

    Crucially, the document reveals that EU governments see metadata – specifically traffic and location history – as the most vital tool for law enforcement.

    Most member states argue that simply knowing who owns an account isn't enough. Instead, they want a new legal baseline where companies are forced to log exactly when and where a user was online, as well as the IP addresses they used to connect.

    The document notes that member states are aware of the legal hurdles of gathering this data and emphasize that any new system must include robust safeguards and strict proportionality to satisfy the courts.

    However, privacy experts and technologists have long warned that such 'safeguards' are not enough, arguing that you cannot weaken encryption or retain this data without fundamentally compromising user security.

    Besides virtual private network (VPN) companies, other online services targeted include messaging apps, hosting providers, file sharing services, cloud storage apps, and other over-the-top (OTT) services."

  5. 🇪🇺 #DataProtection Board's Statement on the 42 Recommendations of the »High-Level Group on Access to Data for Effective Law Enforcement« aka the #EuGoingDark surveillance plan:
    edpb.europa.eu/system/files/20

    > "The #EDPB, …, positively notes the intention expressed in the Recommendations to establish a harmonised EU regime on #DataRetention …"

    Nothing about the undemocratic and biased working methods of the group …

  7. #EUPolicy in action: the European Parliament is hearing the Commissioner-designates soon.

    As @frebelt pointed out, the answers of Commissioner-designate for "Internal Affairs and Migration", Magnus #Brunner, to a first set of written questions were disappointing when it comes to #DataRetention and #ChatControl.

  9. #introduction

    We are people who care about our human rights in the digital world. We started doing something in 2007 during the #DataRetention directive, then acted on #Acta and some more dangerous initiatives. Now we are back to wake the people in #Bulgaria and encourage them to stand up for their rights. We mainly write in Bulgarian! Currently busy with #ChatControl and #Foss adoption.

  10. @catileptic comments on the 🇪🇺 #EuGoingDark surveillance plan:

    > "A* study published in 2023 by NHL Stenden University [rejects the] „Going Dark” concept and law enforcement's insistence that they must have access to citizens' data and communications to be effective."

  11. It's getting serious: Today, as part of the #EuGoingDark surveillance plan, the "Working Party on Cooperation in Criminal Matters" (#COPEN) in the Council of the 🇪🇺 officially discusses the reintroduction of #DataRetention!

  12. How copyright exceptionalism in France risks undermining the EU legal system

    Back in May, Walled Culture wrote about an important case before the EU’s top court, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). It involved the “High Authority for the dissemination of works and the protection of rights on the Internet” (Haute Autorité pour la diffusion des œuvres et la protection des droits sur internet – the infamous HADOPI), and …

  19. I am starting a #dataRetention project: keeping personal #data as long as legal. I will avoid discussing on what people disagree is #legal!
    The data is of internet conversations (not content but source, destination, time). Options include: Loss is preferred over leakage. Self-destruct when stolen. I bet you have never seen such a vanishing feature 🧐
