<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Here are the main takeaways from the poll (52 responses).<br><br>1 - Only 25% of respondents somewhat agreed that the security agencies
need wider powers, while 63% either strongly or somewhat disagreed.
<br>
<br>2 - 89% of respondents saw the need to capture source IPs as part of a
workable data retention scheme. Support of metadata at higher levels of
abstraction quickly dissipates for most applications, with the exception
of VOIP called numbers, which 40% of respondents saw as necessary.
<br>
<br>3 - 76% of respondents strongly agreed that the Data Retention Bill will
increase the use of encryption and VPNs. 76% of respondents strongly
agreed that general adoption of VPNs and encryption would defeat the
intent of the Data Retention Bill.
<br>
<br>4 - 64% of respondents felt that expenditure would be better directed
towards increased funding of the security agencies.
<br>
<br>5 - 34% of respondents felt that expenditure would be better directed
towards improving ISP infrastructure, both for policing source address
at the carrier of origin, and for improved legal intercept capabilities.
