Support Digital Rights

[drplokta]

There's a new pledge on PledgeBank for people to sign up to pay £5 per month to set up a UK digital rights organisation. If they get 1,000 pledges, then it will happen. 31 so far, including me, but it was only created yesterday.

Go here if you want to sign up. And spread the word.

That's true of information such as addresses which are frequently used. Its less true of rarely used information which might still have serious consequencies. This is especially the case if you're not allowed to check all of your own information, which I think is likely the case with the ID card database.

Also, if you have several independent databases, its much easier to cross check if something is wrong. Its like a weak hulled boat with lots of watertight compartments compared to a strong hulled boat with no internal security. It might be more difficult to hole, but one that happens you lose the whole thing.
