The recent ruling of the ECJ against Irish Communication (Retention of Data) Act 2011, needs to be extended to cover EU Commission’s own legislative procedures. ChatControl is “ruled as illegal”, as it is not proportioned or justified when taking the ruling in context with ChatControl legislation. Collection of mobile and other electronic devices data indiscriminately to combat child sexual abuse material on line, lead collection of everyone’s data, that isn’t limited only to metadata but actual private conversations.
The case that resulted to the ruling, was related to a man accused of murder in Ireland, who’s conviction was based on data, that the ECJ considered violating the EU law that bans data retention and surveillance without following specific rules set in EU Law.
