The Home Secretary is seizing the opportunity of the London bombing to
push the EU for mandatory retention of internet logs by ISPs. GreenNet believes that blanket retention would be a serious
infringement of privacy, and would inevitably be used to trace minor
offences and political activity, rather than being useful against
a serious terrorist threat. The measures had already been rejected by
the ISP industry on the grounds of cost and
practicality. GreenNet urges you to express your opposition to your
MEPs, Charles Clarke, and EU Commissioners
Viviane Reding and Franco Frattini.
