Never idolise. Courts simply apply the laws, and good laws were likely written by inspired people and approved in a good political climate. These two conditions are not static.

In this case, the title is misleading. It’s not the ECJ, it’s the ECHR. The ECHR isn’t part of the EU even if the EU and the EU members recognize it.

The ECHR rules according to the ECHR and not the EU regulations. The court can overturn EU regulation when violating the Human Rights.

I didn’t open the article before, and you are right. The author of the article lives in Chicago; I think that Ars has no European writer to really understand what they are talking about.

Well, European Union member states have as a criteria of membership to also be members of the European Convention of Human Rights (which is the one the ECHR rules on), but that’s about it.

We are always on the brink of ruining everything nice that we have been slowly building.

You can read here about the plans of the European Commission to enable service operators to mass scan all the users’ private messages in search of illegal materials.

The Commission is the same super-government body that signed privacy-oriented things like the General Data Protection Regulation.
