When they were trying to push the Communications Data Bill, initially, the first version was incredibly broadbrush
and afforded powers to do any data collection. They then admitted, during the process of our parliamentary committee enquiry,
another reason to oppose more expansive state data retention is that it makes the intelligence agenciesjob harder given it increases the noise to signal ration,
if you demand more things you have more data, and if you believe that the problem the intelligence services face at the moment is a shortage of data then it would address the problem.
I think the problem is they don know what to do with all the data that they have.
If you look at the killing of U k. soldier Lee Rigby for example the problem isn that they have no idea.
The problem is they have so much data they couldn prioritize it properly, he argues. o unlike IP ADDRESS matching where there really was a strong case,
I think the word we used was isleadinge also notes that the Joint Committee report on the draft Communications Data bill was hugely critical about the lack of data ministers were able to provide to support assertions that expanding data capture powers for counter-terrorism purposes would save lives.
e need more data but we can tell you whyand where the U k. Parliament Intelligence and security committee should be playing a robust role in holding the government to account in such a sensitive area,
where when the security services take the ability to look at private data, they do it in a way where it goes through a court,
and when people do have snooped their data on it only used in a very serious process of tracking down organised crime and terrorism?
so shoring up and expanding state surveillance and data capture powers is evidently front of mind and a clear priority for the new U k. government.

Social scientists Create a Revolution in Online Surveys Gathering data about human preferences and activities is the bread-and-butter of much research in the social sciences.
But just how best to gather this data has long been the subject of fierce debate.
Today Matthew Salganik at Princeton university in New jersey and Karen Levy at New york University outline an entirely new way of gathering data inspired by a new generation of information aggregation systems such as Wikipedia.
when it comes to analyzing the data collected in this way. Projects like Wikipedia are the result of user-generated content on a massive scale.
To find out these guys have developed a new type of data collection mechanism that they call a wiki survey.
These included ideas that would have been unlikely to emerge through other data gathering methods such as Keep NYCS drinking water clean by banning fracking in NYS watershed
That could be done by comparing the results to those gathered by other forms of data collection.
What s more analyzing the data from pairwise wiki surveys is still something of a statistical experiment.
That is an interesting new approach that allows the collection of data that would be difficult to get by other methods.
In particular it allows data to be gathered in a way that reflects the well-known long-tailed distribution of contributors.

#U s. Warrants for Overseas Data Trample Foreign Privacy Laws U s. Internet companies and indeed all multinationals with a presence in the United states appear to be trapped between the data access requirements of U s. law enforcement agencies
The company objected to the warrant with regard to data stored at its data center in Ireland claiming that U s. courts are authorized not to issue warrants for extraterritorial searches.
if it turned over data stored abroad to the U s. government it would be more difficult for the company to resist requests by foreign governments for data stored in the U s
because Microsoft is subject to U s. jurisdiction it must turn over data it controls regardless of where the data is stored.
This may be the first case in which a company has opposed formally a U s. search warrant concerning data stored abroad.
The revelations of Edward Snowden have put them all under increasing pressure to resist U s. requests for data access.
Dozens of countries around the world grant broad privacy protection to data processed for commercial purposes (the U s. is one of the few that do not.
They generally do not allow data to be transferred to foreign authorities without the approval of local regulators.
because they are subject to U s. data access requests. For example in June the German government cancelled a contract with Verizon for Internet services.
Many more companies have a commercial incentive to contest these cross-border requests for data. The issues raised in the Microsoft case are relevant to all companies subject to U s. jurisdiction not just those in the Internet sector including companies based abroad but active in the U s. market.
The privacy expectations of the Internet users whose data may be accessed have received little attention. The best way to resolve this conflict would be to make changes to U s. legislation that balance the interests of companies and law enforcement while taking the privacy expectations of individuals into account.
And the privacy of individuals whose data is held by companies with a U s. presence will remain largely unconsidered.
