Privacy plan would let users know who's watching

A new Internet users’ privacy scheme has been recommended by the European Parliament which approved amendments to the EU’s e-privacy directive. The report is expected to be adopted by the full Parliament in September, the committee said. Under the plan, Internet service providers will be required to tell customers about hacker attacks that could lead to privacy invasions such as identity theft or email snooping. The service providers will also have to list network security breaches in their annual reports. Also, when governments access individuals’ private data, the service providers must inform national regulatory authorities, who can refer cases to court when governments exceed their authority, a key factor which was pushed by the parliament’s Socialist Group.
