Dusseldorf - Data collection is a simple matter in the internet age. With new EU guidelines for telecommunications data retention expected to be adopted in countries like Germany in the near future, surfers' tracks across the internet will be traceable for months afterwards.

And another small step towards a communist Europe.

I don't really see the connection between data collection and communism. You don't need communism (or fascism) for this sort of thing to go ahead. In fact this is probably more Capitalist than Communist because both data collection and Capitalism both give more power to the business than the people.

As I see it, just give it another 20 years.
