Deeplinks Blog posts about Mandatory Data Retention
This Thursday, the Paraguayan Chamber of Deputies will vote on a data retention mandate—one of the worst freedom-killing bills we've seen so far in Paraguay. The bill, dubbed Pyrawebs, is a big deal: data retention mandates are a disproportionate measure that should be sorely rejected. It is now that time to mobilize your networks.
Here's how you can participate:
Today, the Paraguayan House of Representatives postponed for eight days the discussion of a mandatory data retention proposal. The bill, if passed, will require Paraguayan telecom providers to store highly personal information about their customers Internet use, for one year, for possible future access by law enforcement agencies.
Em 24 de abril de 2014, a presidenta do Brasil, Dilma Rousseff, assinou o Marco Civil da Internet, um quadro de regulamentação da Internet baseado em direitos civis, pelo qual ativistas do Brasil há muito tempo vinham lutando. Apelidado de "Constituição da Internet", a lei visa reforçar a proteção das liberdades fundamentais na era digital. Apesar de ter sido desenvolvida através de um processo participativo, a lei não deixou de cair na tradicional negociata do processo legislativo, o que resultou em diversas concessões. Uma das mais prejudiciais, e ferozmente combatida por ativistas de direitos digitais, foi um mandato de retenção de dados que obriga a coleta e armazenamento de logs de conexões de qualquer indivíduo inocente.
On April 24, 2014, Brazil’s President, Dilma Rousseff, signed Marco Civil Da Internet, a civil-rights based framework for the Internet which Brazilian activists have long fought. Dubbed the “Internet Constitution,” the law seeks to reinforce the protection of fundamental freedoms in the digital age. The law was developed through a participatory process, but not without getting caught in the traditional horse-trading of the legislative process, which resulted in several concessions. One of the most damaging concessions, fiercely opposed by digital rights activists, was a data retention mandate that compels the collection and storage of connections logs of any innocent individual.
