EU Data-Retention Laws Stricter Than Many People Realized
An anonymous reader writes with a snippet from the Telegraph: "A European Union directive, which Britain was instrumental in devising, comes into force which will require all internet service providers to retain information on email traffic, visits to web sites and telephone calls made over the internet, for 12 months."
Yes, that is a snippet.
Perhaps next time finish the sentence before you snip it?
How about an update with at least a link to TFA that we won't read unless we're new here.
Yeah, and I will get modded redundant for commenting on a summary that isn't even a whole sentence long. And no article to discuss.
Maybe Timothy found kdawson's stash of the Bubonic Chronic!
Down With Slashdot BETA!!! I've been around the corner and seen the oliphant; you can only abuse me from your perspecti
It cuts of post that will be duped in the future.
Hey mods: How is this offtopic, when it's THE FREAKIN LINK TO THE ARTICLE that the editors somehow messed up in the summary? Jeebus.
512 MB RAM, 20 GB disk, 200 GB transfer, five datacenters. $19.95/month.
You're probably right. The massive overhead required will be costly, and likely drive some small ISPs out of business.
Other thought: The E.U. just crossed the line into U.S. government territory. In addition to citizens being harassed by the local "state" governments - now it's also the central government that is directly harassing the citizens via stupid laws/directives. Twice the fun! Congratulations Europeans. Now you get to have the same fun we Americans have been experiencing since 1933. ;-)

The editor's accidentally the summary

It's the JEWS, stupid.
It's the JEWS who are behind all of this - they can't allow freedom of speech, there are still a few people who can actually think for themselves, rather than letting the talmudvision doing it for them.
The JEWS are destroying America and turning it into a third world hell hole. And all so they can maintain their insane grip on power over you all. An all white country would inevitably rise up against Jewish 'masters', whereas a mongrolised hell hole will not.
