EU on fast track to absolute madness: "Risk mitigation" is so vague that virtually anything can be arbitrary enforced to anyone, reports and deliberations kept secret, yet the French reps mentioned being "hostages" of data protection laws.

By the way, the charter still mentions:

Article 7

Respect for private and family life

Everyone has the right to respect for his or her private and family life, home and communications.

Article 8

Protection of personal data

  1. Everyone has the right to the protection of personal data concerning him or her.

  2. Such data must be processed fairly for specified purposes and on the basis of the consent of the person concerned or some other legitimate basis laid down by law. Everyone has the right of access to data which has been collected concerning him or her, and the right to have it rectified.

  3. Compliance with these rules shall be subject to control by an independent authority.
