yes and this is part of the argument under Government debate.
Many companies discard their data pretty quickly, such as e-mails, and that is what the police and security want in part, a minimum time holding to prevent dumping.
That I have no issue with.
What I do have an issue with is the police and security having the uncontrolled ability to see with whom I am communicating; yes they need a warrant to access the messages - that's ok. However, I am of the strong opinion that if they have reasonable suspicion that I (or Mohammed Abdullah bin Salah) is up to no good, then they should have to apply for a warrant to analyse my/his communications and present their reasons/early evidence. Thereby this protects my (and others) personal rights of being in a free country.........
Philosophically, I don't think that is particularldificult to understand.......and it appears the Government (and authorities) are making a right meal out of it. The Labour Party did so as well but for even wider sweeping powers....
