- mirimir 8y agoAfter the CJEU declared the DRD invalid in 2014, the UK enacted the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act (DRIPA).[0] The CJEU annulled that in 2016, and the UK proposed amendments.[1] However, in January 2018, the court ruled those amendments insufficient.[2] I'm not aware of further developments, and I expect that I'd have seen anything relevant on Wilders, but please do share if I've missed something. 0) http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2014/27/contents/enacted http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2014/27/contents/enacted 1) https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/nov/30/police-to-lose-phone-and-web-data-search-authorisation-powers https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/nov/30/police-to... 2) https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...ruled-unlawful-appeal-ruling-snoopers-charter https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...ruled-unlawful-appeal-...
- terminalcommand 8y agoThank you for sharing the links. But as far as I can understand, the new regulations do not abolish the need to record the data. They only set up safeguards for which data can be used. I think a VPN provider in this case is still obliged to keep logs, albeit only hand them over if the necessary conditions are met. Coming from Turkey, I could not imagine a state, where the communication logs are not saved. But it seems the US does this only through intelligence agencies and does not force the ISPs to keep logs.
