EU Sues Sweden, Demands ISP Data Retention
Death Metal writes "The EU passed the Data Retention Directive years ago, a law that demands ISPs and search engines hold onto data long enough to help the cops (but not long enough to cause privacy problems). But Sweden never passed it into national law, and the European Commission has now sued the country to make sure a bill appears."
And if the citizens of Sweden don't kick the EU out, I'll rightfully consider them to be cowards. Any country that abrogates it's sovereignty in this manner isn't a country, but a vassal state, in subservience to a higher ruling power.
Thank god I don't live in the EU.
how very american of you
If you mod me down, I will become more powerful than you can imagine....
Yeah, unlike the states of america who would never erm... what's the word... 'unite' I think it is... and lose their complete autonomous sovereignty to the over governing federal government.
This is just what happens in the world. People unite and join forces. You can't be part of something bigger than you, while refusing to be part of it.
The revolution will not be televised... but it will have a page on Wikipedia
Thank god I don't live in the EU.
