[governance] Every Email In UK To Be Monitored

[linda misek-falkoff]

Dear Jeffrey, so goes it for the Messenger!



The news is not always delightful, but blessed are those who share it and
ignite discussion.  Thanks much for your attention to this.  And
transporting the messages here.



Many of us being in communications fields directly or indirectly, in fact
perhaps All might be able to caucus productively on models of electronic
info systems governance - express, or derivable.



 In the present setting there seems (?) an underlying, at-least dualistic
model of *context* versus (contrasting with) *content*.



When one stores "setting" info, that is where and when and who transactions
take place (contextual matters of space and time, actors id's etc). The
reports seem to be alleging that this capture is not so intrusive (on a
Rights-based or other dimension), only contextual, some might call it meta
data - or use somehow related terms - what think U?



Zo ... what I have read is that it is purported: that message content won't
be stored.  If so, one still looks to context as content (usually).



But these are musings.  It could be quite interesting to compare musings or
"other" on models for what is happening or planned for the currently
discussed email capture and storage, from which interpretation and even
value judgments might flow. Surprise!



Warm regards, Linda.
