A good day for civil rights

The Federal Constitutional Court today declared unconstitutional the retention. This means the immediate removal of all data collected, a good day for civil rights and for freedom.

In recent years we have seen a number of disproportionate action by the state-mostly in the name of fighting terrorism. Today's ruling of the Constitutional Court sets the trend of legislation to an end. Starting and suspicion-free storage or use of the telecommunications connection data of innocent citizens, it will not now. The verdict will also have consequences for other, future legislative projects in the inner- and they are right policy to follow.

The ruling coalition of the Great Law was also significantly beyond the requirements of the EU Directive on data retention. Today, the FDP was in the clear criticism that we have represented for years, confirmed by the highest court of the Federal Republic. Even the 34,000 constitutional complaints have played their part and showed that the company is actively engaged in width and with privacy.

precipitated the Federal Constitutional Court, beginning with the massive bugging, have rejected a number of judgments, the lack of laws. However, it is extremely important that the "can rule from London" is not the norm. Constitutional legislation must be for the people's representatives. We must move away from a legal, parliamentary back to a democracy! Therefore it is imperative that we now make any trip or fall into activism, but also to analyze in the run well, whether a policy is reasonable and proportionate. As the EU Commissioner Reding has already announced that the directive 2006/24/EC on the EU level is examined again, this time on the proportionality between security and privacy. Furthermore, future steps need to be embedded in European stipulations. The FDP is always make for strong civil rights. It is unacceptable that all citizens must be subject to general suspicion. I think fighting terrorism is very important, but we can not share our basic values for risk. This can be in a free society will never be desirable.

more transparency in the ad network

yesterday Interior Minister de Maiziere made in an article for the Tagesspiegel a proposal for the possible introduction of a compulsory data letter. We welcome the target direction: more transparency in the network and more control over their own data for citizens.

data of users are widely used unscrupulously. They often do not know who holds their data and trade with them driving, and therefore can not speak again and the data collection. So it's important that Internet users are given the opportunity to be able to retrieve their data for free. This problem must be solved reasonably.

The idea of the interior minister is basically good, the so-called letter but data are difficult to enforce. Some companies are required to store data ten years, this would potentially generate a vast amount of mail, the most likely to be unwelcome to many. Alternatively, for example, appears the message of the stored personal data, together with an already consigned bill worthy of consideration. Rule over their own data, of course imposed by the state and used for information.

We need a public debate on the use of personal information: companies and government agencies need to consider are actually stored in the extent to which data must-it must become a mandatory note that this is personal data which are eminently worthy of protection.

same but more people should think about how they move around the Internet, and which tracks they want to leave behind. In cooperation with the Union we will develop an early solution.
