The directive was issued by the European parliament in 2006.
“According to the directive the authorities will have to store citizens' telecommunications data for six to 24 months stipulating a maximum time period. Under the directive the police and security agencies will be able to request access to details such as IP address and time of use of every email, phone call and text message sent or received. A request to access the information will be able only with a court order.”

This is going to be retained
Supporters of the directive argue that data retention can be used to fight serious crime, and that this fully compensates surveillance of law-abiding citizens. These arguments is based upon a assumption that people doing serious crime actually can be monitored like ordinary people.
What happens if they hack into your network or uses a US-based proxy server or routes the traffic trough a captured computer?
I think this is mainly about supervising “innocent” citizens and I think this is privacy intervention. I´m pretty sure I don´t have anything to hide, but still I´m not a supporter of full surveillance.
I raise my voice against the Data Retention Directive, and I applauds respect for personal privacy.
So what is it going to be? Are you a supporter or an opponent?
Supporter !!! Æ like å bli sjett ; )))
