11th of October saw the first worldwide protests against surveillance
measures such as the collection of all telecommunications data, the
surveillance of air travellers and the biometric registration of
citizens.  In at least <a

countries</a> citizens demanded a cutback on surveillance, a moratorium
on new surveillance powers and an independent evaluation of existing
surveillance powers.

In Liverpool, political campaigns came together to hold stalls in the
city centre and distribute leaflets. Police riot vans surrounded and
intimidated them, but surrounding crowds helped intervene to block the
police and defend the stalls.

According to European Union (EU) Directive 2006/24/EU, all
telecommunications operators and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in EU
will have to retain email and telephone connection data of their
customers and users for up to two years. This means that data about
every citizen's communication is retained without a specific reason. The
very act of communication will become suspicious.
