(Noting that a #SingleSignOn is not *necessarily* an '#identity' - that depends on a whole range of things, such as what is added or linked to this "#GOVUKaccount", and how they/it is #verified...)
3) '#Personalisation' failure - guess what? #Article14 sez assigning people to buckets sucks; citizens aren't customers! In commerce, telling folk what they (don't) want based on others' choices loses you a sale; doing that in Gov't/public services can really screw people over...
...so DON'T! Also, don't do what @DWP does with UC statements (to pick an example). If you present a short 'list' to people, you MUST also make the long/full 'list' available too. Anything else could be #discriminatory, and will certainly seem unfriendly to those denied options.
And if you want this to genuinely work for people, and across government, you're gonna have to be a whole bunch smarter than @DCMS, who just peed in the 'ID pool' 🤦🏻♂️
In anticipation of the much delayed #digitalIDcards "#NationalConversation", here are some questions on consequential issues that any good #consultation would cover...
[N.B. It ain't a conversation if you stick your fingers in your ears, go la-la-la, and ignore certain topics!]
1) What decisions can be made by those aged 13-16?
ID Minister @darrenpjones already admitted it'll be a #lifelong #IDscheme – for ONE baby to have a #digitalID, the system must be architected for ALL to have one – but when will children be required to *use* them, and for what?
@darrenpjones 2) Will the #IDcard (or an entry in the federated* ID database) describe the holder’s #genitals?
*There won't be a monolithic National Identity Register like @ukhomeoffice built last time – instead your details will be spread around government, linked by your unique #IDnumber...
Nah. This is another puff piece on the #WaitingList pilot, details of which @NHSEngland published - without daring to mention @PalantirTech - over ten months ago...
To be clear, 30 individual NHS Trusts* are using #Palantir#Foundry to manage elective care waiting lists, not patients' entire medical histories - largely by what Ministers have called "cleansing" the data:
Why is this so important? Because #SharedCareRecords - which every new #ICS* is supposed to have - include your #GPdata, which @NHSEngland has been trying to get hold of for years (most recently last summer)...
So let’s talk about where things got up to with your #HealthData, before Rishi Sunak started talking about the need to generate trust in Government with “#integrity” and “#accountability”…
N.B. The chair of NHS Digital announced today’s meeting would be the last public meeting of the Board...
With the news that the Government is rushing through @NHSEngland’s takeover of the statutory safe haven (@NHSDigital) with about the level of planning that went into the 'fiscal event', where exactly *are* things as the former/new Sec State starts work?
First, beginning on page 158, are some Directions that @NHSEngland must know will be HIGHLY controversial - given they are telling @NHSDigital to use @PalantirTech's #Foundry to collect *patient level identifiable data* from hospitals...
I'll tweet as I do a read-through, but even these first two paragraphs are incoherent, e.g. "...in a way that will enable." Enable what?
And if @NHSEngland Directs NHSD to use #Palantir, NHSE is *determining the purposes and means of processing* - i.e. it is a #DataController...
