Authorities requesting increasingly in-formation about the data telecom stores but right support is highly questionable and probably will be condemned by the European Court of Justice. It writes Tele2′s CEO Thomas Ekman and General Counsel Stefan Backman in a debate article in Dagens Nyheter.
The last six months the number of questions from the authorities of searches of Tele 2′s computer system increased from about 1500 10 000 per month upgger Tele2.
The authors are critical to the development.
“After the European Court of Justice in April 2013 declared the Data Retention Directive – that the Swedish data storage requirements are based on – invalid and incompatible with human rights and freedoms of the data storage that Swedish operators are required to conduct a highly dubious right support. “
” High game for Government “
company has appealed rules, and writes that they are convinced that the European Court of Justice will reject the Swedish data storage system.
“The sedentary let such an important issue decided by the EU Court is a high stake from the government, which has the power to influence the situation. The risk is great that the Swedish authorities, through their inability to slow the progression of increasingly unfounded and mechanistic mass surveillance, will lose the right to a reasoned and well-directed monitoring of, for example, serious organized crime. “
Provides suggestions changes
Thomas Ekman and Stefan Backman therefore believe that the government itself should review the data storage rules.
The authors highlight a number of suggestions for changes they consider necessary. Among other things, they want that data storage will be limited.
“The starting point should not be to store everything about everyone as it is today – without directional data storage shall be made to the extent justified where suspicion of serious crime are . “
They also write the rules for how the suspected crime levels set should be tightened and questions to bötestraff gives authorities the right to request information.
Another proposal by Thomas Ekman and Stefan Backman is the task requests must be preceded by a review by an independent court or authority.
