I am a dutch citizen as well, and thought we were doing quite well. Do you have sources for the TomTom, bluetooth scanners and most importantly phone/internet data being saved?
If this stuff is true, I need to start weighing digital rights a lot more in my politics.
- tremon 10y agoSince you're Dutch, I can give you some sources in Dutch: https://www.privacybarometer.nl/maatregel/37/Bewaarplicht_telecomgegevens https://www.privacybarometer.nl/maatregel/37/Bewaarplicht_te... Gives information on the telecom metadata retention directive: 12 months for telephony, 6 months for all Internet traffic. Note: "In addition to this retention directive, all communication providers are required to submit a daily copy of their entire customer base to the DOJ, including name, address, phone number, email and assigned IP". https://www.privacybarometer.nl/maatregel/45/Kentekenregistratie_voor_opsporing https://www.privacybarometer.nl/maatregel/45/Kentekenregistr... About the recent addition that traffic cameras may be used to record and store all license plates passing the camera. This data is accessible to enforcement agencies without warrant. https://www.privacynieuws.nl/internet-en-telecom/bewaarplicht.html https://www.privacynieuws.nl/internet-en-telecom/bewaarplich... - news aggregator for various privacy issues
- rocqua 10y agoThanks for the info. Luckily, after some digging, there is no current data retention. It was struck by european courts in 2015. There is a new bill currently in the 'tweede kamer' (our house of representatives) to reinstate the data retention. I'm not sure what the expected status of it is. (The fact that the minister who proposed it just resigned probably hurts the prospects of this law.)
