      12. One argument made is that you put data analytics more at the centre of a spy agency, you need a lot of internal oversight. A lot.pic.twitter.com/Jwif70kZMT

      13. One centre 2 rule the datasets, 1 centre to find them; 1 centre 2 bring them all & in the darkness bind them. (w/ apologies 2 Tolkien.)pic.twitter.com/4uQP1uQSCI

      14. But how many data sets are "strictly necessary" for a spy service to amass and exploit to keep a country like Canada safe?

      17. So CSIS blunts criticisms by saying it sticks to legal limits & mostly collects benign/open source datasets. What might that look like?

      18. Big Data brokers selling social media scrapings could be an example . Social media not conisidered private. https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/us-police-used-social-media-data-to-track-protesters-aclu/article32322710/?ref=http://www.theglobeandmail.com&utm_medium=Referrer:+Social+Network+/+Media&utm_campaign=Shared+Web+Article+Links&service=mobile …pic.twitter.com/A1LDLNVifJ

      19. And some former CSIS analysts now work for such Big Data brokers and blog about how C-51 created selling opps. http://www.sas.com/en_ca/insights/articles/analytics/public-safety-social-media.html …pic.twitter.com/MyuI9FyvOH

      20. Privacy groups have already talked about how C-51 smoothed the flow of government-to-government data to CSIS https://www.thestar.com/opinion/commentary/2016/12/13/trudeau-must-honour-promise-to-protect-privacy-and-amend-anti-terrorism-act.html …pic.twitter.com/agUKa8DWsR

      21. But where the rubber hits the road is whether CSIS can *compell* corporations to hand over data like US/UK have done. Govt says it can'tpic.twitter.com/kPARwsSyl5

          Think most of FVEY collects "overseas" and shares broadly. So domestic sharing is limited to stuff that doesn't transit border
