Privacy issues could stymie government’s web plans

a short piece by Tim Buckley Owen published in Information World Review Issue 267 (September/October 2011)

You can find it here surrounding the picture of Geraldine van Bueren, Equalities Commission member, who is quoted as saying: “the state is holding increasing amounts of information about our lives without us ... being able to check that it’s accurate or to challenge this effectively.”

Additionally, the way government manages data is “deeply flawed” – while an audit of public sector websites reveals that most organisations haven’t a clue how many cookies they use.
