,----[ Quote ]
| "The National Security Agency had access to all Americans' communications -- 
| faxes, phone calls, and their computer communications," Tice claimed. "It 
| didn't matter whether you were in Kansas, in the middle of the country, and 
| you never made foreign communications at all. They monitored all 
| communications."

EU data protection authority confirms privacy breach in "Telecoms Package"

,----[ Quote ]
| The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) released his opinion on the
| current state of the Telecoms Package. His views on the ePrivacy directive
| confirms La Quadrature's analysis: If nothing is done, article 6.6 will allow
| any company to collect and process traffic data from any Internet user, for
| an undetermined period of time. This disposition is harmful and unacceptable.
| MEPs must react by strongly reaffirming citizens' right to privacy and the
| interests of society as a whole during the second reading of the package.
