Metadata is Not Data
from Tech Field Day Podcast · host Tech Field Day
Metadata is not data… or is it? Should it be treated and protected like data? For example, using metadata, phone providers may not know the content of your conversation, but they can certainly tell who you called and when. This raises the issue of security and how bad actors could use metadata to their advantage. In this episode, we tackle the metadata vs data debate and discuss the distinction between these categories of information.
