All the government agency would then need to have access to is the Internet activity of that politician to have a very good idea what disease the politician was suffering from or was concerned about, if the member went on the Internet to WebMD.com/colorectal-cancer—or Parkinson's, or HIV. Arguably, the metadata in the above example—two calls to two doctors, two visits to two separate doctors, and Internet activity in that time period—is as invasive as the content of communications.
Tout ce que les intervenants de l'organisme gouvernemental auraient à faire, ensuite, c'est d'examiner les activités du politicien sur Internet pour avoir une bonne idée de la maladie dont il souffre ou qui le préoccupe. Il est peut-être allé sur Internet pour s'informer sur le cancer colorectal, la maladie de Parkinson ou le VIH.
