Data Retention is real.
Any data (internet connections, traffic, email, file sharing, SMS, phone calls) will be logged for atleast 6 months (Internet stuff for 6 months, the rest for a year). They don't log what goes over the the line, so if you go to google they won't save the google logo and such, just that you [your ip adres, name, address] went there [google ip address] and the given moment [time, date, duration]. If you enter a word in google to search for it, that/those word(s) will be in the IP packets, I don't know if they log that aswell.
If you would download an mp3 from some online server they won't save the mp3 itself, just that you made connection to that server etc.. Same goes for phonecalls, etc
For those that want to encrypt their data: Tor and PGP.
So on which path is the EU walking? Where is it heading?
Nanny-State? Police-State? Totalitarian-State?
Will we eventually get a Great Firewall around EU just like in China, but instead of blocking the words Freedom and Democracy it will block jihad, 1984, data retention or echelon?
