Having a tweet<\/a> of mine cited by a CBC story<\/a> confirmed the importance of attention to precision on Twitter. With Twitter, you only get 140 characters to express a thought, so you need to be succinct. [see Mark Evans’ post on this<\/a> yesterday]<\/p>\n

When I broke the story<\/a> on Friday about the Office of the Privacy Commissioner releasing its findings about Bell’s use of deep packet inspection, I wrote 4 tweets about various aspects of the report, including one that said:<\/p>\n

Office of Privacy Commission (OPC) approves Bell’s use of DPI: http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/kr9o7k<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

CBC’s story credits me with breaking the story, listing my tweet right above a couple paragraphs that go on to say:<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the commissioner, however, said the office was certainly not approving DPI.<\/p>\n

“It would not be accurate to suggest, in reading the finding, that we are endorsing DPI,” she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The juxtaposing might lead some to think that OPC was contradicting me. Of course, I didn’t tweet that the OPC approves DPI. I said that the OPC approved Bell’s use of DPI<\/i>, and then provided the link to the full story<\/a> on my blog.<\/p>\n

And, as the CBC wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Bell has stated that the DPI platform it uses has this capability, but that it is currently not using it for this purpose. It has also assured this office that any added purpose for which it currently uses PI would respect the company’s privacy obligations… its own privacy policies an applicable customer agreements.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The process for the privacy commission’s review was started by a CIPPIC letter in May 2008 that, at the time, CBC quoted<\/a> as stating:<\/p>\n

Practices [such as] those involving the collection and use of personal information are not necessary to ensure network integrity and quality of service.<\/p>\n

Moreover, subscribers whose traffic is being inspected have not consented to the inspection and use of their data for this purpose.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The OPC disagreed and said these complaints were not well founded.<\/p>\n

Precision is important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
