Shocking
We are all aware of databases filled with our information all over the place, if your a student your LEA, student loans co has your information in databases, your university itself, how about your mobile phone company, these are the obvious.
When these organisations make errors we feel them hard, or have you ever tried to change your address with any of the above, its not only a hassel but sometimes a nightmare.
The truth is we are happy handing out of privacy untill we fall foul of it, maybe we just can't take responsibility for it, we want the government to do it for us or anyone to take it out of our hands.
This is why this article shocked me, its from the BBC website its named 'datebase details harm children', the title is a shock tactic but actually the article suits it.
The government hold a lot more data on children than we actually thought and they pass it around, but because they know this plays close to human rights abuse, they want to teach children how to be responsible for their privacy information. Could you image children being asked to sign forms to give their consent. Its unbelievable, I didn't have a single pleasent word in my mouth when reading this article. I'm angry, adults are not even responsible enough to look after their own privacy, but now they are expecting children to put themselves at risk. I'm glad that within the article many figures are just as shocked as I was.
The ICO assistant commissioner stated 'public trust and confidence will be lost if there is excessive unwarrented intrusion into family life'
