MLEX, January 6, 2020

A group of industry associations representing software companies, Internet service providers and cloud-computing storage providers said today they are "encouraged" by proposed changes to an EU bill requiring users' communications data to be opened up to criminal investigators.
The associations, including ACT The App Association, Bitkom, and BSA | The Software Alliance, which includes Microsoft, Oracle, Siemens, Intel and Slack, said in a statement that EU legislators should continue "to fight for fundamental rights protections" in the "e-evidence" proposal (see here).
First proposed in April 2018, the e-evidence law will apply to online providers of communications such as Skype, Facebook, WhatsApp and Telegram, as well as traditional telecom services and also intermediaries and content-storage systems.
