DDL intercettazioni

DDL Intercettazioni or the Wiretapping Bill is a piece of legislation put periodically[1] before the Italian Parliament, but never passed.

In the XVI legislature, that version of the bill provided for a measure (paragraph 29), found to be in violation of free speech by the public opinion: after the public outcry, it has never been approved by Parliament.[2]
