The role of digital access providers 2017, para. 60
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Companies should assume an active and engaged role in developing expression and privacy enhancing measures. For example, digital security measures that detect and prevent distributed denial-of-service attacks and hacking should be implemented in a manner that targets malicious traffic without compromising legitimate interactions among individuals, organizations and communities. Configuring network equipment to minimize unnecessary information collection about users — given local legal and routing requirements — effectively pre-empts overbroad data requests, since companies cannot turn over information they do not have. Even if user information is logged, meaningful limits on whether and for how long they are retained also restrict the scope of personal and sensitive data available for third party access.
