- detaro 6y agoSystematic collection and archiving of "metadata" is not the same as data being available at some point in time. (It's really the same as the arguments against other automated surveillance: it's "public metadata" where your car is on public roads, but a country-wide database based on automated scans is still different than the fact that someone can follow you around manually)
