Following the recent publicity in the Guardian, Telegraph and the Mail and on Channel 4, it looks as though there are more bloggers to add to the list of those opposing the establishment of a children's database.
For example:
A View From England
The Devil's Kitchen
The Last Boy Scout
IT Law in Ireland
Stumbling and Mumbling
Think Mojo
Unlimited Jargon
and an update, including appropriately strong language, from Mr Eugenides.
Just to prove how safe confidential info might be....

Thanks Mel.
ReplyDeleteThere was a similar story in the Spectator this week, which also meant to blog. It concerned a police officer who was making a very tidy living out of selling ID data on to interested parties (including quite a lot of journalists!). He would usually double his money in most instances, buying info that he couldn't already lay his hands on immediately, and selling it on.
Impossible to think that children will be safe under such circumstances. Abusive partners would pitch up all over the place.
