John Knieriem of the Rotterdam
hosting company Intermax said that 2.3 million times a year, data from his
company is being observed by various authorities. According to him, tapping
into private data in the Netherlands is far more frequent that in the United
States. Knieriem has no idea what the authorities do with the data taken from his
company. His company is obliged to deliver data to the database of the Central
Informationpoint Investigation Telecommunication (CIOT). This is a department
of the Ministry of Justice which keeps data in a bunker in Maasland. According
to a report of the ministry, in half of the cases, it cannot be checked whether
the authorities use the data according to law.
