  abstract     = {{A judgment of 13 February 2024 in the case of Podchasov v. Russia deals with the right to privacy as protected under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) in relation to the retention of communication data and content by Internet service providers, the protection of encrypted messages and access by law-enforcement authorities and security services to such data and content. The judgment in Podchasov v. Russia is highly relevant for all member states of the ECHR, also in relation with the earlier case law of the ECtHR on deploying bulk or secret surveillance (see Big Brother Watch a.o. v. the United Kingdom, IRIS 2021-7:1/20). Another judgment of the ECtHR of a few days later, on 15 February 2024, in the case of Škoberne v. Slovenia, also deals with the issue of retention of communication data in the light of the right to privacy. In both cases the ECtHR found a violation of Article 8 ECHR. This contribution focusses on the Russian case, highlighting the users’ rights to privacy and freedom of expression.}},
