Stepping on to mandatory data retention's slippery slope

Informações:

Synopsis

Mandatory data retention was a bad idea when it was originally floated during a Gillard Government inquiry. It is a worse idea now, and is set to become law for political reasons, not because it has been properly scrutinised. There are important questions that we should be asking, and we should not let ourselves be put off from doing this if we don't know the difference between data and metadata (there is none).
