America have stopped printing #COVID19 vaccination records which could used for international travel.
The #NHS still have a COVID-Pass available until 31st March 2024 even though there's SEVEN countries left in the world with entry measures.
Here's the list of countries where @SteveBarclay @DHSCgovuk @UKHSA still think it's necessary & proportionate to continue wasting UK tax payers money on this useless scheme.
It's a joke.
CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC
LIBYA
NAURU
NORTH KOREA
PITCAIRN ISLANDS
SOUTH SUDAN
TURKMENISTAN
Since the WHO ended the #COVID19 PHEIC on 5th May, there's been a major de-escalation of remaining countries enforcing COVID entry measures.
You can even travel to #China & #NorthKorea unhindered, except NK will quarantine visitors for 30 days according to their guidelines.
π§΅The Crime & Policing MP @CPhilpOfficial may view the integration & amalgamation of multiple national databases using AI to tackle crime as a 'gamechanger'.
But there are serious risks for the data & privacy of everyday citizens. We explain more in this thread π
π₯ Cybersecurity: Criminals may attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in the systems used to integrate & store data.
Hacking, malware, or ransomware attacks, could compromise the integrity & availability of data.
π₯ Data Breaches: Combining multiple databases may increase the risk of data breaches.
Unauthorized access could allow criminals & other malicious actors to a wealth of sensitive data.
An 'anonymous IT reporter' who claims to have spent a lot of time petitioning against COVID-Passes & raised this on TalkRadio 'thinks' national ID cards are a 'bad idea' but their modern equivalent is OK.
Zero mention of the #OnlineSafetyBill, implications on encryption, & amendments to the Snoopers Charter which could see companies like Apple having to run their latest security/privacy updates by the State & at the risk of the public not knowing about it.
Modern digital identity systems don't necessarily mean 'more safe', even if open source.
For example, #WorldCoin runs a open source protocol which hasn't deterred criminals from stealing passwords & injecting malware into the iris-scanning devices:
π¨ 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).
Diia (ΠΡΡ) meaning 'action' or ΠΠ΅ΡΠΆΠ°Π²Π° Ρ Π― (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.
@Bernard57502817@ABridgen 1β£ 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@ABridgen 2β£ 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@ABridgen 3β£ 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.
Interesting that the UKHSA procurement with @TelefonicaUK@BTGroup for 'telecoms mobility data' & 'datasets' are both filed under 'telemetry surveillance system'.
We also found another contract for Telefonica (o2) valued at Β£900,000 for "Provision of Mobility Data for the UK detailing the aggregated number of people within a specific location within the UK."
