European Data Retention Law Unlawful
From Webdevo.ie
"As many of you may be aware several years ago the European Union at the behest of Germany and a small number of other nations brought forth a directive demanding that each countries ISP’s (Internet Service Providers) retain logs of internet activity by their customers and store it for a period of several years. This of course was seen as, among other things, at the very least a huge imposition on the way in which an ISP operates. Several countries tried to oppose the directive at first before relenting. Most notably of course was Sweden who held out until they were required to pay roughly €3 billion as a result of not implementing the directive."
