                delivered, that collection<br class="">
                &gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; of certain data (and we're still talking about
                collection,<br class="">
                &gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; remember) is permitted if you have legitimate
                purposes.<br class="">
                &gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Therefore, we should be paying attention to
                those purposes, and be<br class="">
                &gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; specific about it.<br class="">
                &gt;<br class="">
                &gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 2.&nbsp; It is possible that any law, or any
                interpretation of the law,<br class="">
                &gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; is being made with a misapprehension of how
                the Internet actually<br class="">
                &gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; works.&nbsp; Quite frankly, it is apparent to me
                that an alarming<br class="">
                &gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; number of policymakers have a deeply mistaken
                model for the way<br class="">
                &gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; the Internet works, mostly aligned with a
                picture that looks like<br class="">
                &gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; the way the phone system used to work.&nbsp; But we
                have to make policy<br class="">
                &gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; for the actual Internet, rather than for some
                system that does not<br class="">
                &gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; actually exist.&nbsp; This is why I sent that note
                the other day about<br class="">
                &gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; figuring out what we want and then asking
                lawyers how that can be<br class="">
                &gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; made to comport with such legal regimes as we
                know, rather than<br class="">
                &gt;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; doing it the other way.<br class="">
                &gt;<br class="">
