“We had a major success with our case against mass surveillance which led to an Advocate-General’s opinion that the Data Retention Directive is incompatible with the European Charter of Fundamental Rights – and we are confident that this will lead in a few months to a judgment from the European Court of Justice which will give greater privacy rights for all Europeans. In February we applied to be an ‘amicus curiae‘ in a case brought by record companies demanding internet blocking in Ireland. The judge gave a detailed decision. However, the upshot was that we did not succeed in our application. What’s more, costs were awarded against us.”
