"The thing about “metadata” is that it is, at best, a pseudo category.
At worst, it’s an ignorant falsehood evolved by the Attorney-General’s
Department under successive governments to make-believe that there is
data about data and not just data–your data–itself."

Helen Razer explains why people should care about metadata retention.
