RE: European Court of Human Rights Rules In Favor Of Privacy
The decision sounds about right. Employers should not be spying on employees without prior notice. But I have to say that the EU is one giant mess right now. How is a court in one country going to determine what is legal or illegal in another country, which has different customs, history and people?
The EU was supposed to be just a monetary union, but now it's turning into one giant, corrupt super-state.
The ECHR provides a platform for parties to bring applications forward if they believe that their own state has breached/violated their human rights; despite those states having rules in place that supposedly uphold and protect such rights. The ECHR is able to render a judgment because dozens of member states (47 of them) have officially recognized the jurisdiction of the court.
