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.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).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.[1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Retention_Directive
