Surveillance Powers? 'We Must Demand Proof' of Effectiveness (Gazeta Wyborcza, Poland)
"All
indications are that the attack on the editorial offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo will
provide a pretext for the introduction of further limits on our civil liberties
- a new order the victims of which are unlikely to be terrorists … Independent
analyses confirm that data inflation and the growing use of algorithms in intelligence
work do not improve the effectiveness of threat detection. Analyses of 225 cases
of persons who have been convicted or killed in connection with terrorist
activity shows that mass surveillance tools were used in only four cases. In
several high-profile cases, these tools have evidently failed. … We have a
right to a thorough justification for measures that will limit our rights and freedoms.
In a democratic debate, we must demand evidence of their effectiveness."

Poland - Gazeta Wyborcza - Original Article (Polish)
Katarzyna Szymielewicz is director of the Panoptykon Foundation
All indications are that the attack on the editorial offices
of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo will provide a pretext for the introduction of further
limits on our civil liberties - a new order, the victims of which are unlikely to
be terrorists.
It took only two days for European Union leaders to take advantage
of these tragic events and launch a new push for controversial notions on data
collection. This time it relates to a European system to integrate airline
passenger data, the so called PNR (Passenger Name
Records ).
How will traveler profiling protect us from assassins who live
next door to us and operate locally? European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and European Council President Donald Tusk don’t deal
with such details. In their quest for a rapid response, they reach for
well-known means: more powers for police and the intelligence services. Is it
really the case that the European Union, with rather mediocre results after
more than a decade testing this approach, cannot muster a more thoughtful
response?
The idea of creating a European system of the collection and
sharing of PNR data is not new. Discussions on a
draft of such a law has long been discussed in Brussels. Up to now, however, the
European Parliament resisted the arguments put forward by the European Commission
and intelligence services, who would gladly accept such an extension of their
powers. Last year, European Parliament deputies [MEPs ]
blocked the draft directive due to the disproportionality of its proposed
solutions. There are many indications that now, under the pressure of public
opinion, the Parliament will cave in and European Union leaders will dress up an
old anti-terrorism policy in new clothes.
Strikingly similar dynamics accompanied the adoption of the
so-called Data Retention
Directive - forcing telecommunications operators to collect and store data
on citizen telecommunications. Substantive debate on its merits was cut short right
after the terrorist attacks on Madrid and London. The directive, adopted in
2006, was last year nullified by the European Court of Justice, as it was
deemed inconsistent with the European
Charter of Fundamental Rights . The legislative process has thus come full
circle.
Nonetheless, this political experiment came at a real cost,
both in economic and social terms. It still burdens operators and citizens of
those countries (including Poland) that continue to require the retention of
telecommunications data. A tool once adopted is very difficult to withdraw.
A European PNR system would gather all data from reservation
engines: the names of people traveling (including information about whether
they are traveling together), their departure point and destination, their meal
choices (which could suggest their religions), the language the reservation is
made in, contact details (including telephone numbers and e-mail addresses), the
credit card numbers used and details on their holders, information on related
reservations(hotel rooms, etc.), notes on telephone conversations (if any) and
metadata, such as the IP address used at the time of booking. For good measure,
the European Commission proposes to store this data for a length of time that
is unprecedented - five years.
If the preventive collection of telecommunication data didn’t
protect us from subsequent terrorist attacks, why does the E.U. want another
mega database, this time on airline passengers? According to Juncker and Tusk, the European PNR system would help
identify E.U. citizens who participate in the fighting in Iraq and Syria. Thus,
they uncritically assume that this category of citizens constitutes the
greatest threat to our security. Even if that were true, the experience of recent
years shows that the creation of additional haystacks doesn't facilitate the
location of lost needles.
Trying to predict terrorist intentions from the profiles of travelers
resembles the divination of tea leaves. If I travel frequently from London to
the Middle East, have roots in a Muslim country, order a Halal
meal and don't pay for my ticket myself – should that automatically make me
suspect? According to American and British intelligence, which have been using
PNR data for years, the answer is likely to be yes. As a result, every year
there are an ever-larger number of people who, upon crossing a border, are discriminated
against due to their ethnic origin or declared religion. Human rights
activists, academics, journalists and even children are treated as potential
terrorists – detained, interrogated, searched – due to a “suspicious” profile.
What do we get in return?

Independent analyses – including a report from the New
America Foundation – confirm that data inflation and the growing use of
algorithms in intelligence work do not improve the effectiveness of threat
detection. Analyses of 225 cases of persons who have been convicted or killed in
connection with terrorist activity shows that mass surveillance tools (such as
the analysis of telecommunication or PNR data) were used
in only four cases.
Posted By Worldmeets.US
In several high-profile cases, these tools have evidently
failed. Anders Breivik went undetected by the intelligence services
despite the fact that on the Internet he did nothing to conceal his radical
views, and the Tsarnaev brothers
On the other hand, we know from the documents disclosed by
Edward Snowden that the targets of surveillance are often political leaders, lawmakers,
negotiators and diplomats. Perhaps that's because they are easy to track.
We have a right to know what the policy objectives are behind
enhanced cooperation among European intelligence agencies and the creation of new
surveillance tools. We have a right to a thorough justification for measures
that will limit our rights and freedoms. In a democratic debate, we must demand
evidence of their effectiveness. If the rationality of proposed legislation is
in doubt, we retain the instinct of self-preservation. That requires us to oppose
the plans of politicians that, instead of combating the roots of extremism,
reinforce stereotypes and provide an easy pretext for discrimination.
