Hey, remember that time I said that pointing out that AI is giving bad data to ICE is missing the point because ICE doesn't actually care if the data is good? Check out how right I am.
Move fast, fix things…. Who does the clean up?

We’ll be doing more much-loved (and still worn!) NO2ID metal pin badges. We’ll send some to those who donate more than £40 – your donations will help us do the first manufacturing run, which takes a month. www.no2id.uk/donations/
Beyond disappointed with anyone I work with who supports the FDP and SPR after we witnessed the route to policy. It never solved a technical issue.
GDS talking about cancer data sharing of "ultra-rare cancerhood tumours" but without allowing analysis to be reported on less than 5 patients... What "ultra-rare" definition have they made up? dataingovernment.blog.gov.uk/2026/01/15/g...
This might epitomise the sheer ignorance of DSIT “Ian Murray, the minister for digital government and data, said: “The front door of the NHS is the A&E department.”
The way you can tell it’s Palantir is they never mention who built it www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
We mention that people may have kids, NHSE assume you only care about yourself
There were plans written in silos and promoting particular viewpoints - see TBI on ID cards and John Bell on replacing NHS doctors with AIs and pharma bsky.app/profile/dann...
We’ll talk to patients/groups involved first, which will likely be after Xmas now
Yes. NHSE bullying is uneven

More specifically, the data that says you’re eligible comes from NHS England, but if that’s wrong the hospital relying on it gets (actively) punished, so…

DH has reannounced their lack of progress on business models for NHS IP. On that same basis, here’s what we said in January which is a minor tweak from 2019

Reading the Blair Government’s argument for ID - section by section
www.no2id.uk/2025/respond...
The NHS already knows that you are eligible for free treatment (you got an nhs number by being born, or the HO have confirmed you still have a valid visa, etc). The reason this continues to be a problem is the underlying nontechnical flaws an ID card won’t fix
NEW: UK asked Apple to backdoor iCloud encryption.
Backdoors create a massive target for hackers & criminal groups.
Dictators will inevitably demand that Apple do the same for them. 1/

This is very good from @rachelcoldicutt.bsky.social
Of note “Greater efficiency in public services [from Digital ID] did not come out in the research as a high priority for the general public, who instead want to see other improvements in their daily lives.”
Or victims of crime?
Or would the Home Office want to link phone numbers required for the ID to the IMEIs of protestor devices?
Will people arrested at a protest for human rights action on Palestine have to unlock their phones to show their ID to the police?
