Trustguide : UK civilians on ‘cyber trust’ November 13, 2006
Posted by mark in : General, Privacy , trackbackThe Open Rights Group discusses the 101 page Trustguide report on ‘our’ “views, beliefs and needs regarding trust, security and privacy in relation to new technologies” (eg. ID cards). It’s based on 29 workshops in the South West, Wales and London, hosted by HP and BT, in conjunction with the DTI.
In the interests of informed debate, I was encouraged (and surprised, comparing it to Radio 5 Live call-ins), that people had asked :
- whether a given ’solution’ can actually solve the stated problem;
- whether it is the best solution (eg. at that $price); and
- whether it is worth the possible ‘knock-on’ costs (to society and law, of reducing trust and personal freedom).
On a more ‘frivolous’ note, this also gives me a place to post the URI to the (old) “Gilbert and Sullivan” on ID cards video [initially found via plasticbag.org].
