+1 It is ironic that until the mid-90s, analysis of metadata on the backbones was the norm. Furthermore, it will be network operators, pursuant to their operational needs and national legal obligations, that make metadata analysis decisions
One gets the feel that much of the vetting on the list is essentially prepassturbating. Feels good intellectually for some, but is otherwise not productive. --tony On 10/28/2013 4:12 PM, Mike Demmers wrote:
The problem with the proposals I see for fixing the metadata problem through technical means is that in the end, to actually be effective, they all seem to boil down to 'We had to destroy the internet, in order to save it'. I think there are small technical changes around the edges that can help, but I really see the solutions for the metadata problem as more political and social than technical. Concentrating on making encryption really, really easy to use would go a lot further at this time than messing with deep changes, because people are not even using what is already available.
