CBC Disses Data Mining

Back in December (before I had my blog), I heard this 'report' on CBC radio. A very one-sided (negative) report on the "threat of data mining". I've mentioned it to a few folks so I thought I'd provide the link:

(scroll down to Part 2 to listen to the broadcast)

I was very disappointed that they didn't interview anyone in the data mining space for their side of the story. Actually this is more a story on data and privacy NOT data mining at all but it's important for us all to understand what the public is hearing.
