Article 8 & 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights?

Well aware that they are proposing stupid stuff, but surely that's unenforceable? In any case, it's one of those where I'd argue the problem is therefore up to them to reconcile the stupid surveillance laws with their more fundamental principles.

In one of our courses on copyright law I heard this from the professor teaching that class :

"While yes, there are a lot of exceptions to contract law, I would like to state that only a fool signs a contract he thinks to be unenforceable"

Likewise I'd adopt the attitude of not letting laws pass no matter how unenforceable you think they are.
