If Slack did this because of her trip to Cuba years ago it means they have kept records of her IP going back years.
This causes me to think about the metadata records they have held onto in addition to all the data.
- jordank 8y agoRight, which should also indicate that this trip to Cuba wasn’t part of a pattern but rather an anomaly. I understand the complex legal frames that this exists in, but they appear to have the data to be way more precise here.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoThey may have the data, but they have no incentive to care whether or not their inferences are correct. This is a common problem with ostensibly data-driven companies.
- tzs 8y ago> If Slack did this because of her trip to Cuba years ago it means they have kept records of her IP going back years Or they did an IP to country lookup back then and kept the result of that rather than keeping the IP.
