I've long felt that the protection of privacy is not an impediment to criminal investigation, and it's certainly not an impediment to our being able to conduct the kind of analysis and make the sorts of disclosures we do.
I think within the bounds of the privacy protections it is possible to conduct meaningful investigations.
What it has meant over the past 15 or 20 years is that investigative bodies have refined and to some extent changed their investigative practices to be able to continue to be effective. But I don't believe that privacy protection is inconsistent with effective investigation or in our case effective analysis of the data.
It does mean that you handle the information in a particular way, that you cannot get access willy-nilly to huge quantities of information and then fish around in it.
If you do get huge quantities, such as we do, then you are circumscribed by law in what you can disclose and what uses you can make of that information.
