Remember during the pandemic, there were certain people in UK “civic tech” spaces bemoaning the fact Apple and Google wouldn’t allow contact tracing apps that didn’t fall within their rules, saying “why should big tech be able to override sovereign states?”
Because said states do really silly things and tech companies telling them to piss off is about the only check on that.

The government may change the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill to 'include allowing online marketeers greater use of so-called “legitimate interest” arguments for collecting people’s information and the ability for private companies to similarly obtain such personal information for scientific research.'
If this is true, the revised #DPDIBill is even more of a threat to our data protection rights. The Bill must be scrapped.
Weird that modern-day inhuman fascists don’t like being likened to other inhuman fascists of yore. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And there was me hoping that I had the office all to myself today.
So proud of my wife who tonight saved a lost and trapped strange dog from a night of subzero exposure and returned it to its home and puppies. 🤩
Got to admit that I wasn’t expecting Johnson the Liar to use his own dad as a dead cat in order to give his other “honours” nominations a semblance of credence. But no, I’m not surprised.

I see Boris Johnson is nominating his dad for a knighthood.
It would be terrible if the fine system of honours that gave us Sir Fred Goodwin and Sir Jimmy Savile were to be brought into disrepute like this.

“[W]e need a new leader for a new decade”—#KateForbes
Not sure how the SNP hopeful squares this with her first-century moral and scientific outlook, but I guess that’s politics.
The modern downfall of the UK didn’t begin with the lies surrounding the referendum of 2016, nor with the election of the interminably insufferable tory clusterfuck in 2010; it actually started with Cadbury’s kiboshing of the Spira in June 2005.

It’s sometimes incredibly obvious that parliament has no former software people, but is full of lawyers and journalists. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-64584001
Happy EBM day!
