Of Minor Benefits and Major Costs - Reformulating the Fundamental Rights Question of the Privatisation of Surveillance in La Quadrature du Net II Kuşkonmaz, Elif Mendos Author aut (orcid)0009-0006-4640-7123 Text xx# 2024 Verfassungsblog 2024-11-28 eng Is general and indiscriminate data retention permissible under the EU fundamental rights framework?
