   The Senate of Romania just passed a new law that forces all internet and telecom providers to record all encrypted and un-ecrypted traffic, on their cost, and also provide a way for the Romanian Intelligence Service to extract the data "as needed".

   The new 100 page law was provided for review 10 minutes before the session and it was passed after 30 minutes of "debate". But there is good news...

     The good news is the fact that the law will be challenged at the Constitutional Court of Romania and probably it will never be applied.

     Experts say it has many issues, but the most obvious one is that they've used words that don't exist in the Romanian language.

     They've probably used #GoogleTranslate to get the translation for "encrypted" and they got a word that doesn't exist in our language: "cripat".

     Thank you #Google, #DoNotBeEvil

     @walter Sweden introduced this many years ago and sadly has no real constitutional court.

     @cjd @walter instead US installs link-speed capture devices in ISP's infrastructure and retains whatever it wants directly on NSA servers.

     AFAIK US does not have data retention laws, it's just that AT&T is an evil company who will sell out their customers for a nickle.
