Data Plutonium Government Style
June 7, 2010
You have to admire European regulators. Read “MEPs Want Google to Keep Customer Data for Longer.” Keeping data can be pretty darned exciting. Data may not be the Plutonium that is good to go for 76 million years (Atomic Number 94. Atomic Mass Number 244). Digital data may be more like Plutonium that is exciting for about 86 years (Atomic Number 94, Atomic Mass Number 238). In my opinion, the most interesting comment in the write up was:
“In reality… the substance of the declaration is to call on the Commission to extend the data retention directive to search engines, so that all searches done on, for example, Google will be monitored.”
Treasure troves of data are wondrous. Many exciting factoids emerge from these collections. Just like a gram of that fun stuff Plutonium in your pants pocket.
