Antoine Beaupré:
So please provide more references to back up your laim that "most countries need data retention" if you want to make a proper point here.
I will gladly argue about this, but it seems to miss the point.Debian shouldn't base its software on specific laws of specific countries. Debian should provide sane defaults, produced by the community, not obscure laws.
Snowden has shown, that if it exists, TLAs will abuse it. So efficient data protection is data minimization.

But don't impose that on the other 99%.
