Hampton's comment willfully ignores what Snowden showed us about the NSA having access to much of this information via legally mandated back doors, which means GCSB has access too, via the 5 Eyes alliance (see the CutCutCut Films doco The 5th Eye). A shame Colin Peacock didn't mention that. Although I guess it wasn't directly germane to the focus of this MediaWatch story, which is about decentralizing social media.
