Data retention is a big thing in Europe. Some countries governments like it, others do not. It seems that one country is now close to implementing the European Data Retention in their country - the Czech Republic.
The EDRI is reporting that the Czech Republic is "close to approving the data retention implementation as an Act amending the Electronic Communications Act (127/2005 Coll.)"
Many have long argued that the data retention directive, which is suppose to get European countries to store all telecommunications including internet communications, faxes and phone calls for a period of up to two years is basically an erosion of privacy rights.
