SMILE29
From Telecomix Crypto Munitions Bureau
Smile29 is a recommendation that was passed by the members of the European parliament. There was significant amounts of lobbying involved. The lobbyists claimed that they needed to protect the children against child porn, and that this SMILE29-recommendation was needed to be able to stop pedophiles. By saving what people has been searching on at the internets ("what they google"), it should be possible to data-mine the logs in order to identify potential pedophiles before they commit any crimes.

Notes
- 2006/24/EC is the bureaucrat code-word for the data retention directive.
[edit] Translation of bureaucrat code-words into plain english
The document is a recommendation from the European Parliament that says that the data retention directive should be extended to also include internet search engines. The purpose is to track sex offenders using an "early warning system."
Note 1: This is only a recommendation, not an actual law. The recommendation essentially says that someone else should start writing the law so that the European Parliament can vote to accept it. (The elected does not write their own laws in EU. The process however includes passing the documents through a series of interested groups that makes adjustments. These groups include elected members.)
Note 2: The data retention directive is a law that has already been passed that says that all conversations using phone calls (oldskool, mobile and IP-telephony) as well as e-mails should be logged. The actual content of conversations is not logged. Instead, who has been communicating with whom and where the phones was when they were used is being logged. E-mails are only logged with time stamps and who was writing e-mails to whom.
