Orientation of proposal

Freedom for encryption should be total in a country where it is still subject to restrictions, notwithstanding any invocation of "reasons of state". Furthermore, although certain data concerning connection need conserving for invoicing and police investigation, for example, this conservation should be :
  limited in time, one month seems a reasonable period ;
  totally forbidden for other types of data. For example, data indicating the consultation of a site involving the person’s private life could be used for illegal purposes (profiling, collection of sensitive data) and so should not be conserved, as opposed to data connection to the Internet itself ;
  accompanied with an obligation by access providers to warn users of the use made of the data they collect and the duration of is conservation. They must also request agreement from users for any utilisation of such data, especially for profit. Lastly, advertising on the Internet should be regulated :
  on the one hand, as with other media, the distinction between editorial and advertising content should be perfectly clear ;
  on the other hand, aggressive and eventually costly (since they prolong consultation) advertising on the Net should be limited (for example, pop-ups) ;

 The consumer should be able to give their prior consent to the reception of unsolicited commercial messages.

Context

The Internet has the potential to violate individual rights, especially violation of private life and misuse of personal data. This can be explained technically by :
  the possibilities of archiving and processing masses of personal data, made even easier by network computer processing ;
  the possibility for current navigation tools to establish consumer profiles easily, by using cookies of which the user is sometimes totally unaware ;
  the possibility of sending unsolicited spam that floods thousands of mail boxes with advertising at low cost since part of the latter is paid for by the recipient.

The first solution to these risks to personal data is encryption, but protection should go even further to prevent every Internet user from becoming a traceable marketing target subject to commercial harassment against their will.

Apart from elementary individual rights, what is at stake is a choice of society : the Net economy is not a justification for everything.
