- Abstract
- The Swedish implementation of the EU's Data Retention Directive, entailing mandatory retention of electronic communications data concerning all individuals for the purpose of law enforcement, was passed in 2012. In 2014 the directive was ruled invalid by the Court of Justice of the European Union on the basis of its alleged infringements on fundamental rights. Implementations of the directive were then revoked in many nations, largely based on the court decision and those rights. Swedish telecommunications companies ceased their retention of data until the Swedish government, referring to an enquiry made by a former chief of police, claimed that the directive is still active. The enquiry was criticized partly because it was said to provide... (More)
- The Swedish implementation of the EU's Data Retention Directive, entailing mandatory retention of electronic communications data concerning all individuals for the purpose of law enforcement, was passed in 2012. In 2014 the directive was ruled invalid by the Court of Justice of the European Union on the basis of its alleged infringements on fundamental rights. Implementations of the directive were then revoked in many nations, largely based on the court decision and those rights. Swedish telecommunications companies ceased their retention of data until the Swedish government, referring to an enquiry made by a former chief of police, claimed that the directive is still active. The enquiry was criticized partly because it was said to provide lacking evidence for the need for data retention. This paper argues that coherence in the justifications of state coercion is important for legitimacy. From this, argumentation analysis is used to test the coherence in the argumentation for the need for continued retention of data. The results show that the argumentation is not inconsistent but inconsequential and provides a largely varying amount of evidence for different kinds of data. (Less)
