“Germany’s new justice minister, Heiko Maas, wants to delay turning the EU’s controversial data retention directive into German law. His announcement, made in an interview with German weekly Der Spiegel on Sunday (5 January), comes amid legal action by the European Commission and despite the fact two leading parties in Germany’s grand coalition want to go ahead. The directive allows governments and intelligence agencies to track the movements, meetings, phone and Internet use of every EU citizen by forcing operators to set up separate databases specifically for police access. The data is retained from anywhere between six months to two years.”
