  • Correct me if I’m wrong:

    The way I read it it’s not about any new data gathering or backdoors or whatever, it’s about keeping the metadata (so not message content, but things like source/destination, date & time of a message), which already are known to the service provider, but not structurally saved until slow law enforcement comes asking for it (which they already can and do). So nothing is added except efficiency, if I read it correctly.

    If you have concerns about anything they already do, or things not in this proposal but scary or dangerous; now is as good a time as any to complain about it, and perhaps this is a valid platform for it, but phrase it as such.

    But some of the comments (on the proposal) talking about adding backdoors just look like someone didn’t read and just blindly started complaining, which is not a good look.

    If we want to participate as educated citizens, let’s educate ourselves so our input is still valued in the future.

    That all aside, thanks for sharing!
