What about data retention?
summary
CJEU cancels the Data Retention Directive on 8 April 2014, leaving a fragmented patchwork: about 22 member states keep national laws while six lack them; retention periods range from 4 weeks to 2 years and access rules vary (judge, prosecutor, or direct LEA requests). Courts in some countries strike down narrow national bills; strategic domestic litigation wins procedural shortcuts but sometimes fails on merits. Law‑enforcement judges report concrete cases (terrorist leads from a 2011 Gmail IP) lost when data are deleted; providers sometimes delay identification requests months.
