Sorry for poor translation job, but in short it looks like this:
EU human rights bill FORBIDS invigilation of customers by ISPs - so this is against current EU law - rules by European Justice Tribunal.
"Tribunal noted that consumer rights security is superior to anything else compared to the ACTA law." - "Trybunał stwierdził nadrzędności ochrony konsumenta wynikającej z Karty Praw Podstawowych UE".
- freehunter 15y agoLeave it to a "poor translation" to teach me a new word: invigilation. Wish we had a law preventing ISPs from monitoring their customers here in the US.
- hastur 15y agoHe meant: surveillance. ;)

- tszyn 15y agoSorry, this is pure misinformation. The ECJ ruling was made on NOVEMBER 24, not January 24. See: http://curia.europa.eu/jcms/jcms/Jo2_16799/?annee=2011 http://curia.europa.eu/jcms/jcms/Jo2_16799/?annee=2011 PAP (Polish Press Agency) for some strange reason reported this today, giving the wrong date, and all the major news outlets reported it without checking. (TVN24 now published a correction) The ruling does not affect ACTA directly because there is nothing about ISP filtering in ACTA.
