What, Why, How?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Yesterday, the European Court of Justice \u2013 the highest court in the world\u2019s largest economy \u2013 declared Data Retention to be an inexcusable violation of fundamental human rights. The court invalidated the entire directive (\u201cEU federal law\u201d) retroactively, making it have never existed. This is a great vindication of the liberties movement, confirming what we\u2019ve said all along, but much remains to be done.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The EU <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Data_Retention_Directive\">Data Retention Directive<\/a> was adopted on December 14, 2005. It says that every piece of conversation between people in the European Union is to be logged \u2013 who, how, when, and from where. The express purpose was to use the data against the citizens thus monitored. (The first Pirate Party was initiated on December 16, 2005. Yes, there is a direct connection.)<\/p>\n<p>Many politicians have tried to use the most absurd justifications for this mechanism. \u201cOur country will be fined by the EU if we don\u2019t follow the directive.\u201d (Yes, but it costs over ten times as much to perform the surveillance. Taking the fines would be cheaper, not to mention you get to keep basic privacy.) \u201cWe have to.\u201d (No, we don\u2019t. There\u2019s a process to challenge a directive \u2013 a EU federal law \u2013 on human rights grounds, and you\u2019re choosing to not follow it.) And so on. \u201cWe need it for law enforcement.\u201d (Oh, so the convenience of the Police is now more important than human rights? That sounds like the definition of a police state, mate.)<\/p>\n<p>Some more pragmatic politicians have tried to limit the extent of the damage done, by adding various look-good \u201csafeguards\u201d onto the initial violation. Liberty activists have tried to repeat time and again and again how this does not make anything near okay. It doesn\u2019t matter if only courts can access the surveillance data. It doesn\u2019t matter if only the police has access to it (and <em>nota bene,<\/em> the copyright industry demanded independent access to the surveillance data. Yes, you read that right). It doesn\u2019t matter if the data is only available to the police for certain severe crimes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The problem is the blanket violation of privacy, the very first step. Anything that happens after that point is irrelevant; it\u2019s the initial blanket of violation of everybody\u2019s privacy, where everybody\u2019s communications are logged no matter what, that is unacceptable, intolerable, and inexcusable.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This also means that the Data Retention concept can\u2019t be repaired, it can\u2019t be tweaked, it can\u2019t be adjusted into supportability. It\u2019s the very basic idea of blanket collection of people\u2019s communications that is <em>completely intolerable.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Happily, the European Court of Justice made <em>this exact point<\/em> in its <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0N8BeJum9A\">verdict<\/a> yesterday: the fundamental premise is intolerable. That means that the concept as such is dead. There are still national legislations in the EU that require ISPs and telcos to retain data as per the now-never-existed directive; expect these to be challenged on human rights grounds (and country governments sued for human rights violations) at a rapid pace. From the verdict:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Firstly, the directive covers, in a generalised manner, all individuals, all means of electronic communication and all traffic data without any differentiation, limitation or exception being made in the light of the objective of fighting against serious crime.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The court killed the directive on several more grounds, but this was the first one listed, and the one we have been going on against since the first Pirate Party was launched on January 1, 2006. This exact criticism was in our election platform <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120118163751\/http:\/\/www3.piratpartiet.se\/documents\/valmanifest2006.pdf\">that very year<\/a>, under the heading \u201cImmediately\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Data Retention shall not be implemented [in Sweden], as it violates [paragraphs referring to fundamental right to privacy] in the European Convention on Human Rights.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This hasn\u2019t stopped politicians from all camps and colors, even those who expressly voted <em>for<\/em> the damn thing, to come out and claim victory pretending this was what they wanted all along. That\u2019s your run-of-the-mill politics hypocriticality as usual.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It took us almost ten years, but we were given an unambiguous \u201cyou were right all along\u201d in the end by the highest court in the world\u2019s largest economy. Can we now please start respecting all the other aspects of fundamental privacy we\u2019ve also been talking about?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is also something to learn for Brazil, whose in-process <em>Marco Civil<\/em> mandates blanket data retention. Now that Europe has declared that practice totally, utterly, and completely incompatible with one of the most fundamental of human rights, <em>Marco Civil<\/em> should not pass in its present form, regardless of whether it contains good things beside the intolerable violation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, the European Court of Justice \u2013 the highest court in the world\u2019s largest economy \u2013 declared Data Retention to be an inexcusable violation of fundamental human rights.
