Finding a balance between fighting crime and privacy – the use of metadata
Last April, the Portuguese Constitutional Court declared unconstitutional the provisions of articles 4, 6, and 9 of Law 32/2008 of July 17, which transposed into Portuguese law Directive 2006/24/EC of March 15, on the retention of data generated or processed in connection with the provision of publicly available electronic communications services or of public communications networks (also known as the "Metadata Law"), thereby raising the metadata subject to the top of the most discussed topics of the moment.
