Again: this article states, that the ECJ cannot ponder on the balance of
freedom of expression with privacy. The ECJ confirmed this in the Lindqvist
case. This is glass clear. It is a competence of the states.
If it was like you say, Art. 9 of the Directive would not make any sense at
all! I don't understand the logic of your arguments:
on the basis of which law or article are you stating this? You just give
statements, but I still haven't seen a single paragraph supporting what you
say - and you won't find them.
Art. 9 explains why the ECJ doesn't mention Art.11 explicitly and only
talks indirecty about it.
The basis of the ECJs decision is the Data Protection  Directive ONLY.
