Subject: GILC opposes EU anti-terrorist law

Declan,

http://stop1984.com/index2.php?text=letter.txt

The Global Internet Liberty Campaign is going to send a letter to the
European Parliament on May 22, opposing a proposed law to require
phone companies and Internet service providers to store and keep
traffic data for years in order to make it available to the
authorities on request. 'Traffic data' means the records of who called
whom, who sent email to whom and so forth. One may wonder if enough
terrorists are stopped by this measure to justify the invasion of
privacy. Further, it is a clear danger that dictarships would label
the political opposition as terrorists.

Regards

Mikael

Subject: Open Letter against Data Collection
Date: Sun, 19 May 2002 02:59:28 +0200

I thought this might be of interest to you:
(I thought that you already know the part with the organisations but I
was not sure if you knew about the part with the private persons)

GILC is going to send a letter to the European Parliament on May 22nd,
regarding the collection of telecommunication data. This is a letter
to the EP objecting to an amendment permitting retention of Internet
traffic data on the entire population. It would effectively make every
Internet user susceptible to continuous surveillance of their online
activity.

Marc Rotenberg from GILC has asked organizations who want to take part
respectively sign this letter to send him (rotenberg@epic.org) an
e-mail with the following: - Name - Organization - Email address -
Organization URL

If private persons want to sign the letter they can do this on our
page http://stop1984.com/index2.php?text=letter.txt (you also find the
English original there as well as the German translation) As you can
see we respect the privacy of each signee and do not publish any
e-mail-address, we only have a counter on our page, telling you how
many people have signed.

Maybe this inititiative is something you could waste some space on
your list for ; I thought (and this is what the whole stop1984-team
thought) that it would be sad if only organisations could support this
open letter. And I think that an impressive number of signees would
help in addition to the organisations´  support.

Sorry if this e-mail was embarassing.

Kind regards

Twister
aka Tini Jodda
