<nettime> online petition against unlimited data retention

["Sjoera Nas" <sjoera@xs4all.nl>]

Dear Nettimers,

On 29 May the European Parliament will vote on a very important 
new Privacy Directive, regulating communications privacy and data
retention. Members of GILC, the Global Internet Liberty Campaign
(www.gilc.org) are seeking endorsement for their urgent letter to the
President and Members of the European Parliament. If you 
represent an NGO, please send your support to Marc Rotenberg 
<rotenberg@epic.org>, director of EPIC, including your (full) name, 
e-mail adress and url of the organisation.

Two GILC-members, stop1984.com and quintessenz have also 
launched an online mechanism for individual signatures:

The deadline for this letter is 22 May 2002, so please sign on today 
if you support this protest!

Thank you,
Sjoera Nas, public affairs XS4ALL
