It only covers connection data (IP addresses, phone numbers, email addresses), not content. Inspecting the content (for instance, doing a deep packet inspection on web traffic, listening in on phone conversations) is still illegal unless ordered by a judge. Besides, the laws implementing this regulation have been deemed unconstitutional in 4 or 5 countries already. There is still hope that the regulation will be dropped entirely. Back to topic: If I would find out that my provider inspects my web traffic and logs which websites I connect to, I would definitely sue.
