there are some serious people involved<br>
<br>
Although I do not have warm words for Microsoft's activities in
privacy, the concepts pursued here are IMHO still valid, 12 years

Building these kinds of system <u>without</u> such technology
(and especially without a horizontal Data Protection law rather
stronger than EU95/46 or the new Regulation) is just building a
humongous transactional surveillance system...<br>
<br>
Despite many to educate HMG since 2006 in many fora, AFAIK the UK
version of NSTIC does <u>not</u> have any similar genuine PET
element (slender hope that it is in NSTIC), and <u>will</u> be a
humongous transactional surveillance system...<br>
