Dutch security services ordered to delete five valuable datasets

NL Times  

Dutch intelligence services AIVD and MIVD must destroy five large datasets they consider valuable for national security because they broke the rules in storing them. The complaints handling department of regulator CTIVD ordered the datasets destroyed in a ruling published on Wednesday following a complaint by civil rights organization Bits of Freedom, NRC reports. But with the involved five datasets, the intelligence services broke the rules for keeping them even with the new arrangement, Addie Stehouwer of the CTIVD's complaints handling department said to NRC. “They collect more data than they can handle and keep the data longer than allowed.” The ruling also shows that supervision of the AIVD and MIVD is not functioning properly, the civil rights organization said.
