@CafeFilthmuck do what Canada does - have a voluntary National Household Survey -
@BernardKeane Response bias kills the validity, self-selecting samples not much of a guide. Perhaps an anonymised census?

@BernardKeane Census is anonymised, and has been of demonstrable value to policy. Metadata is neither of those things.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@BernardKeane Not a like-for-like comparison. Metadata and bio-data attached to an individual v aggregated non-identifiable population data.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@BernardKeane I'm not sure metadata is going to adequately represent society the way the Census does. See http://infoaus.net/seifa/index.phpThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@BernardKeane@KeaganFederici Hands up if you are tired of the loopy left? -
@thetassiesnipe@BernardKeane I'm not part of the loopy left but I still know data retention is an infringement of personal liberties. -
@KeaganFederici @BernardKeanetargeting Keane with comment! But I support any measure that may prevent or leads to prosecution of terrorists
