EU States Propose Massive Data Retention Plan

The European Union has unveiled plans to require all telephone and Internet traffic to be logged and stored for up to a year in order to help combat organized crime and terrorism.

 

The plan was unveiled on Wednesday by the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, and would require the approval of the European Parliament. EU member states, which make up the European Council, have made a similar proposal, but it would require data to be stored for a longer period and would force service providers to bear the full costs of compliance—estimated at nearly 200 million euros per company per year.

 

Both proposals would require compliance from service providers located outside the EU if they carry traffic to the area.
