Rejected petition No to the Data Retention Directive!

More details

Implementation of the Data Retention Directive will force phone companies and internet service providers to retain data of phone calls, emails, websites visited and so forth and make this data avaliable to the government. I am calling for this Directive to not be implemented and for the government to challenge it as an infringement on individual privacy.
