Future of privacy rights in Europe

Three days from now and the European Parliament’s Civil Liberties Committee will decide the future of the privacy rights of the Europeans and of course, whether you’re from Europe or not, you may have already known about what the NSA has been up to today. News about that has been everywhere and better privacy in Europe may mean better freedom. However, the proposals for this have been targeted by the foreign governments and corporate lobbyists so we must make sure that those proposals are approved.

Skype on the other hand was already in investigation for attempting to gang up with those spies to spy on their users under some law in Europe and that was some good news we had already seen in Neowin but that doesn’t mean the spying from Skype will probably end like that after the investigation.
