🚨 EXCL: The UK Govt are co-funding technical assistance & continued development of Ukraine's controversial Diia app through the Eurasia Foundation & its 'Transparency and Accountability in Public Administration and Services' (TAPAS).

TAPAS or 'Transparency & Accountability in Public Administration & Services', is a seven-year, $43 million 'anti-corruption activity' in #Ukraine funded by USAID & UK Aid (2016-2024).

eurasia.org/project/transp…

Diia (Дія) meaning 'action' or Держава і Я (State & Me) was first presented in 2019 & officially launched in early 2020.

Most of its now 130 e-gov services were developed from UK & USAID through the Eurasia Foundation who are also recipients of funding from George Soros' OSF.

@TheRedactedInc

Throughout #COVID19 & the ongoing conflict with #Russia, Diia has been mired in controversy.

Watch this excellent indepth report from @TheRedactedInc @dancohen3000 👇

Former US Ambassador to the UN & now Administrator of USAID, Samantha Power, announced at a glitzy event in DC on May 31st that "countries around the world will soon follow Diia’s lead".

Visa executive chair Al Kelly explaining how his company supported the Diia app incentivising Ukrainians to receive COVID jabs which also provided other targeted payments providing one had a ‘Green Pass’ ✅

@MaxBlumenthal

Diia is a full on state-snitching app for its citizens:

"e-Enemy. A chatbot that helps any citizen safely transfer info on the location of Russian troops, names of collaborators..."

(Credit: @MaxBlumenthal)

In October 2022, a hacker in the now closed 'Breached Forums' claimed to have compromised an undisclosed amount of sensitive data from Diia, containing the email, name, DOB, address & passport numbers of citizens.

Diia continues to be hailed as a model in e-governance with USAID leading the drive to implement 'Diia-like' schemes elsewhere & to 'develop a one-stop-shop app for government services.'

The question is, do you really want something like Diia in your country? We hope not.

@Bernard57502817

@Bernard57502817 @ABridgen 1⃣ Art. 1 & 42 of proposed amendments say nothing about a change from advisory to 'mandatory'. The term legally binding does not mean that treaty text is enforced within member states legislation.

(contd.)

@Bernard57502817

@Bernard57502817 @ABridgen 2⃣ We agree that 'all risks' isn't suitable & requires further definition & clarity. It should remain as public health risks associated with communicable diseases.

Unfortunately this has also been widely blown out of proportion but we can see why.

@Bernard57502817

@Bernard57502817 @ABridgen 3⃣ Human Rights haven't been 'disregarded' & are mentioned within Art. 2 & Page 4 of the following. This is the problem, Roguski cherry picks & doesn't provide the wider angle on text.

@TelefonicaUK

Interesting that the UKHSA procurement with @TelefonicaUK @BTGroup for 'telecoms mobility data' & 'datasets' are both filed under 'telemetry surveillance system'.

https://twitter.com/org_scp/status/1656991710084251648

We also found another contract for Telefonica (o2) valued at £900,000 for "Provision of Mobility Data for the UK detailing the aggregated number of people within a specific location within the UK."

contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/e8d2969…

In the BT contract (ending 2025) there's a provision for 'historical data' & ''full origin destination' between March 2019 - March 2022.

This isn't just about analysing behavioural datasets leading up to, during & after C19, this is full on surveillance & we need more answers.

@TelefonicaUK

🚨 JUST IN | The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) signed contracts with @TelefonicaUK @BTGroup valued at £205,000 & £290,000, effective in March, to continue to track customer's movements which was extensively done during the national response to #COVID19

The 'potential' use of this data is includes "ongoing modelling of the spread of diseases, & helping to guide the response to future public-health emergencies – including infectious illnesses, as well as extreme weather or biological incidents."

UKHSA wants to know more about “behavioural changes post-pandemic, helping to understand the potential impact of wider health threats & to establish a post-pandemic baseline of behaviour”.

@SteveBarclay

🚨EXCL: The Health Secretary @SteveBarclay handed over authority to @NHSBSA for continuing the COVID Pass until 31st March 2024, unless otherwise revoked.

It also appears that the Director of the DPU has invalidated the order, signing off the wrong year.

@maggie_erewash

In mid 2022, @maggie_erewash answered Rosindell's WPQ stating the COVID Pass was due to close by 31st March 2023. The goalposts have shifted again.

MP @AndrewRosindell finally received a 'non answer' from @mariacaulfield on 6th March whether the COVID Pass system has closed.

https://twitter.com/org_scp/status/1627685596737986560

We issued a FOIA to DHSC back in January, receiving our reply in February. Govt expenditure on the COVID Pass system is likely to have far exceeded £25m.

@NickFerrariLBC

After hearing the @NickFerrariLBC interview with a man claiming his ‘healthy stepfather’ died from #Omicron, even though it wasn’t registered by #NHS Northamptonshire - we’re very skeptical about callers like ‘Raj’.
