The senador for the Balearics, Manuel Cámara, in favour of privacy

Yesterday we reported on the Campaign for privacy in electronic communication at work and about the sentence by the TSJC in favour of a firm in its case against the employee who used the electronic mail for activities other than those relating to the firm.

The Association of Internauts has decided to support the campaign in favour of electronic privacy initiated by Kriptopolis and has published the Manifest pro-electronic privacy.

Meanwhile, yesterday we reported on the presentation in the Senate of a motion by the Socialist group which asks the Government to create a Plan of definite measures that guarantee the right of privacy and inviolability of communications via via electronic mail, both at work and in private. This was not the only motion presented yesterday in the Senate claiming the right to privacy on Internet. The senator for United Left of the Balearics, Manuel Cámara, also presented a motion that requests the Government to set up the necessary measures to consider electronic mail and Internet as instruments of communication and information of the workers and the unions within the firm. Both the motion by Manuel Cámara and the one presented by Félix Lavilla, on behalf of the Socialists, were rejected by the votes against of the senators of the Popular Group.
