ASCII invites you to an information evening about the implications, problems and threats of Data Retention - the keeping of data about each and every connection users of electronic communication systems make. ASCII invites you to an information evening about the implications, problems and threats of Data Retention - the keeping of data about each and every connection users of electronic communication systems make. Data Retention means, the keeping of information about the connections users make when using the internet, cellular phone services and landline phones. Data Retention laws have been on the agenda of the European Union legislators and the EU executive for a long time. Through long-winded processes, which were conducted more under the influence of government lobbyists rather than a democratic process, these laws have now arrived at the phase of implementation. All over Europe, internet and phone providers are required to spend money on storage capacity and technical implementations to invade the privacy of the users. All that under the banner of security and, of course, the "War on Terror" At ASCII we want to inform you about the extent of these regulations, and how you can possibly still do something against them. Both by means of using your democratic rights as citizens, and also by protecting your privacy actively as a user. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: 19.10.2005 Time: 20:00 - 22:00 Location: ASCII Javastraat 38 HS Amsterdam ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Website: http://www.scii.nl |
