Slovak Constitutional Court cancels mass surveillance of citizens
This is related to "Data Retention Directive" [1] which was declared invalid by EU Court of Justice for violating EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.<p>It means member EU states must update their legislation which will prohibit metadata retention by communication operators (including ISPs) to absolute minimum (generally only what's required for invoicing).<p>That's why this ruling by Slovak Constitutional Court seems a bit pointless. Slovak parliament would prohibit mass surveillance sooner or later anyway as a result of EU Court of Justice ruling.<p>[1]: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Retention_Directive" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Retention_Directive</a>
