There are two main changes to the data retention laws that recently came into action. The first being the egregious extension of the amount of time that your online data needs to be maintained; the second being the introduction of web monitoring for copyright compliance\u2026 without prior judicial review. The Italian\u00a0Authority for Communications Guarantees (AGCOM) has been granted the mandate to demand the takedown or blocking of websites without judicial oversight. Under this new law, actions like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/us-judge-grants-unprecedented-injunction-forces-search-engines-isps-block-site-copyright-case\/\">Sci-Hub block<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 which caused a lot of controversy in the states \u2013 could happen at the drop of a hat and without judicial. Additionally, AGCOM has been granted the power to use deep packet inspection on all internet traffic.<\/p>\n<p>This law, specifically the extraordinarily long mandatory data retention period, is expressly illegal according to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU Despite the clear top-down direction that blanket data retention laws are unconstitutional, countries like Italy and Sweden are still implementing sweeping mandatory data retention laws. Earlier this year, Privacy International released a report about EU member states noncompliance with the CJEU. In the report, PI stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMember States have an obligation to ensure that their laws comply with the CJEU\u2019s jurisprudence, and EU law more generally. It is thus concerning to notice that only a limited proportion of Member States have actually annulled their pre-Digital Rights legislation and that practically no Member States\u2019 laws currently comply with Tele-2\/Watson.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Despite CJEU rulings, unconstitutional data retention laws are still in vogue<\/h2>\n<p>Expect ISPs and telecoms to comply until the European Union and Italy come to a head and resolve this inconsistency.
