Why do people make hot take comments like this?
There's obviously a difference between metadata and other data, that's why we have a word for it.

- lupire 4y agoPeople who spy on metadata make dishonest claims like "it isn't an invasion of privacy since we are only collecting metadata". > There's obviously a difference between metadata and other data, No. Your metadata is my data; that's the point. "Meta" is an additional contextual characteristic of some (I'd say most) data.
