- On the corp side, the existence of systems to process legal requests is not surprising or outrageous. 03:46:10
- The question is if govt is abusing the process to request overly broad or indiscriminate in their requests. 03:48:39
- Highly targeted requests related to a specific investigation is probably OK (although the FISA Process with gag orders and such sucks). 03:49:30
- The thing that would be more problematic would be just massive scale data requests for the purpose of wide scale data mining. 03:51:44
- Of course the companies themselves do that kind of large scale data retention for their own later data mining, which has its own issues. 03:53:10
- But govt doing it has a whole different, and perhaps more serious, set of implications. 03:53:48
