If your privacy is worth zip - then keep quiet. But if you want to make sure you have some privacy left soon...then act...

Imagine someone asks you to tell him if you have made phonecalls today, if you have written e-mails, visited chatrooms or the usenet, if you have sent any sms or what internet-sites you have visited.
And even more...he demands you to tell him how long they phone calls have taken, if you have tried to talk to someone whose line was busy. He demands the phone numbers, the IP-numbers of the PCs you have had contact with...

Unbelievable? Disgusting?
Yes, right --- but this is exactly what Data Retention means. And even more - maybe you will give this info to some friends. But to strangers? Just because they tell you that it *could happen* that these data will be needed?
You would surely not do so.

But if it comes to what the EU Parliament has allowed --- this is what you might have to do next, give those information away to unknown persons to let them store those infos ...

No problem for you?
Well, then you probably deserve these laws

But if it is a problem for you - go to this link:

See what shall be stored in detail...
and then do something and sign this letter:

It is time to defend your privacy with the same enthusiasm you defend your other human rights!
