EU’s Invasion of Privacy
The EU is beginning to log essentially all electronic communications, including all email, web traffic and VOIP phone calls. I see nothing in the article that discusses safeguards for the information.
Hundreds of public bodies and quangos, including local councils, will also be able to access the data to investigate flytipping and other less serious crimes.
I’d really like to know about foreign communications or web visitors. If someone in the EU emails me or I visit an EU-based website, does pretty much anyone remotely associated any local, regional or national government anywhere in the EU have access to a log of it?
Will it cause anyone in our lapdog media a moment’s hesitation when praising Europe for its awesomeness? That’s asking too much. I’d settle for having them at least report it.
