More Protection for Victims Through Data Retention - On the Introduction of a Minimum Data Retention Period for IP Addresses After La Quadrature du Net II

Abstract

Mass data retention is all about proportionality. The threat level determines the proportionality of the means – both of which are subject to the perpetual flux of time. Data retention is intended to protect victims of digital crimes. To protect freedom online, our security services urgently need to be able to access stored IP addresses. The alarming developments in our security situation are calling many certainties from the past into question. This also involves a re-evaluation of traffic data retention.
