In my last post It’s a sad day for Europe
, I spoke about the European Council trying to fast-track the data retention bill through the Parliament for approval. Well, today was the day of the plenary vote and it was passed with a majority of 387 versus 204. Now the individual member states need to incorporate the bill in their laws and by the turn of the year it should be required most places for ISPs and the likes to store all transaction end-point information for no less than six months and no more than two years (except for exceptions from some member states).
Today the privacy of the individual has been given a devastating blow.
The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either.
