European Courts are the ultimate court of appeal in the EU. In this instance I'd say the European Court of Human Rights would absolutely find shutting down these servers as a violation of the European Convention on Human Rights.
- bxk1 6y agoEuropean Court of Human Rights is also not exclusive to European Union, other countries signed the convention as well and ratified at least parts of it. There appeals can reach ECHR and its rulings have to be enforced locally.
- user5994461 6y agoHuman rights have to do with things like torture, unfair detention, having a fair trial, etc... You are not going there because an hosting company shutdown your mail service. Last cases for reference: https://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng#{%22languageisocode%22:[%22ENG%22],%22documentcollectionid2%22:[%22JUDGMENTS%22] https://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng#{%22languageisocode%22:[%22EN...}
- bxk1 6y agoActually, a hosting company challenging the police in jurisdiction where ECHR is ratified would go exactly there once it exhausts options in local courts. But not a customer of a hosting company challenging the decision of a hosting company.
- pjc50 6y ago.. on what basis? (a) you've not checked whether the OVH user agreement allows this kind of termination, which it almost certainly does, and (b) we don't know any of the underlying facts about the alleged police letter. A court action might bring some facts to light, but it's unlikely to reinstate the service.
