The point is, governments around the world are creating new surveillance programs. This is a new surveillance program. Ergo, it's newsworthy. "Why is anonymous data important to you? " Because we've spend 5000 years trying to overcome state surveillance. The reason we have to have a Constitution, where the first line talks about 'Freedom To Assemble'. ... and governments lie. Are they using the Digital Passport data as well? Is it really anonymous, and to what degree? What kind of oversight is there on the researchers? In the end, if it's above board, I'm fine with it, but there needs to be oversight, 'journalism' is part of that, and the state sponsored entity, the CBC, should be the first place to contemplate the story. It's not a non-story, and it's not published with negative or suspicious framing, and even if it were, that's within perogative.
