This data is not data identified as being useful for a particular targeted criminal investigation, but is mass surveillance snooping on the vast majority of the 450 million innocent people in the European Union."

Tobin (Privacy Law Blog, Dec. 20, 2007) TinyURL: http://tinyurl.com/ajojx4 / TinyURL Preview: http://preview.tinyurl.com/ajojx4 Concerns Raised About Anti-Counterfeiting Trade AgreementConcerns Raised About Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement
Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) "...raises serious concerns about citizens' civil liberties and privacy rights..."
"The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is withholding hundreds of documents about a secret intellectual property enforcement treaty currently under negotiation between the U.S. and more than a dozen other countries.In a pending federal lawsuit, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Public Knowledge are demanding that background documents on the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) be released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). But the USTR has claimed that more than 1300 pages should be withheld because they implicate national security or expose the USTR's deliberative processes. The USTR has released only 159 pages for public viewing.
ACTA raises serious concerns about citizens' civil liberties and privacy rights. The contents and text of ACTA remain secret, but a document leaked to the public last year shows that ACTA could include stronger criminal measures, increased customs border search powers, and requirements for Internet service providers to cooperate with copyright holders.
Some public suggestions from content companies have included requiring ISPs to engage in filtering of their customers' Internet communications for potentially copyright-infringing material, mandatory disclosure of personal information about alleged copyright infringers, and adoption of 'Three Strikes' policies requiring ISPs to automatically terminate customers' Internet access upon a repeat allegation of copyright infringement."
