I understand that the directive may conflict with national laws, such as the German Constitution. There will be many more interesting twists and turns before it is put into full effect. Hopefully, for the sake of Europeans, it never will be. This shows how European law serves the interests of governments and bureaucrats much more than the European people. The error of entrusting privacy protection to government officials is becoming startlingly clear there.

The common idea that the cost of data storage is rapidly becoming zero is plainly wrong when you are talking about terabytes of data.
