<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>There is a very fundamental issue here, that the legislation that passed excluded DR records from civil discovery - in the main - and left it to regulations to correct for what are being called "unintended consequences" of the legislation, protecting from discovery data that on consideration is not deserving of privacy protections.<br><br></div>I've sent a response to the AG, raising for consideration the following possible unintended consequences, of DR records that it would best serve the public interest that they be subject to discovery in civil proceedings:<br><br>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:100%">1 – The use of the
internet for stalking, harassment, including “revenge pornography”. <br></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:100%"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:100%">2 – The growing
incidence of “fake news”, which has appeared in the last few
years, where there is systematic dissemination of propaganda and
mistruths, by corporations, political lobbies, and nation states, to
pursue political agendas, or to smear reputations and careers of
political and business adversaries, including people and companies.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:100%"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:100%">3 – In instances
where corporations have sustained a data breach, and there is
subsequent use of their intellectual property by unauthorised users,
there would appear to be no good grounds if there is evidence from
data retention records that would connect the data breach to the
unauthorised users, that that connection not be explored as part of
action taken to protect intellectual property rights.</p>
