[AusNOG] (Meta-)Data Retention

You know after reading Gordie Guy's piece I noted the bit about outing 
every gay guy. That logic could be applied to a lot of different private 
information that could be made public by leakers or hackers. The Irony 
does not escape me that currently the person that leaked details about 
Tony Abbot's daughter's  scholarship is facing "Hacking" chargers.  Im 
sure there's a lot of stuff the public would love to know about Polly's 
and their families. Just waiting for the first breach of this treasure 
trove of information.

Let's try out some headlines.

Russian crime gang hack's ISP-X's - Users blackmailed.
ISP-X's Whistle blower implicates senior minister in internet trolling 
drama.
Hacked Metadata shows Top Sydney Radio personality visiting questionable 
about kittens.


I want a credit on those Rupert . .

Matt.
