Just like the spying perpetrated by the Stasi, metadata retention - TopicsExpress



          

Just like the spying perpetrated by the Stasi, metadata retention is a form of surveillance that is unacceptable in a democratic country. Not only does it dispense with long-held notions that individuals are innocent until proven guilty, and that curtailment of civil liberties must be preceded by a reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing, it also undermines progressive thought, innovation and political diversity. It suppresses any potential challenge to the status quo. It reinforces the power of those doing the spying, and renders impotent the spied upon. [Reference]
