Thanks for the notice, Carlton The headline was misleading. - 49% are opposed to snooping under all circumstances. - 47% are opposed except under specific, documented circumstances - 4% are unopposed That IMO is not an unexpected or distressing answer. The concept of a court-issued search warrant is understood and accepted when physical privacy is to be breached, and court-approved wiretaps of telephones have been with us for decades. So I don't think it unreasonable that similar allowances would be considered acceptable in digital space. The number of people who are OK with warrantless, untransparent snooping -- in low single digits -- is my positive takeaway from this survey. - Evan On 29 August 2013 10:10, Carlton Samuels <carlton.samuels@gmail.com> wrote:

Exactly so. The conversation with Stephanie Perrin this morning was along the same lines....depends on what is asked... BTW, the CIRA CEO has published one of a series of three articles - on his blog - bemoaning the loss of the Internet as we know it. I think this survey is intended to feed into that trope. -Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= On Thu, Aug 29, 2013 at 9:37 AM, Evan Leibovitch <evan@telly.org> wrote:
