Not surprising. Metadata (i.e. who you talked to, for how long, etc.) does not currently have the same privacy protections as the actual content of your communications. Jacob Appelbaum, an associate of Wikileaks and core member of the Tor project, often talks about it [1]. The EFF and UN have been actively involved with analyzing whether this is appropriate, as well [2]: EFF believes that “metadata”—information logging individuals’ communication activities—is as sensitive as the content of communication and therefore deserves strong human rights protections. 1. http://www.democracynow.org/2013/2/5/court_govt_can_secretly_obtain_email http://www.democracynow.org/2013/2/5/court_govt_can_secretly... 2. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/06/internet-and-surveillance-UN-makes-the-connection https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/06/internet-and-surveilla...
