Just checking that you know "communications data" in RIPA excludes the content of the message, and it refers only to the meta data?
- arpa 7y agoMetadata is as telling as data.
- DanBC 7y agoYes, absolutely, I agree. That's why I find the article so frustrating. "Here's a list of all the organisations that can get a warrant to get your metadata" would be a good, interesting story and we (us in the UK) need to have that discussion and hold politicians to account. That job - holding MPs to account - is made harder by stories like this, because people write letters saying "stop reading my emails" and they get a reply saying "we never were reading your emails".
