"Contact-tracing data collected in pubs sold on"

I'm going to wait for confirmation of this before commenting elsewhere.

I do not think that everyone here has any understanding of how damaging and dangerous these data-safety breaches are.

Everything you read about it will be headlined with the minimising trivialisation 'Privacy'.

The data is out there and the tort is committed.

Staljers and abusive exes have it. Religious fundamentalists, blackmailers, and journalists are collating and cross-linking it.

There are people who are eager to destroy private lives and families, combing through this data as I speak, gleeful and gloating in anticipation the hate crimes it has profited these data criminals and publicans to facilitate.

And if no-one goes to prison for this appalling and endangering data safety violation, then Britain has no meaningful data protection law.

The data's out there, being used.

If we do not see deterrent prison sentences for this, and a sustained campaign by the police against the users of this stolen data...

And we won't

...Then the only hope for some of the most vulnerable and endangered people who must live in fear among us - and for thousands of 'safe' and ordinary people who don't yet know what the malicious use of stolen social data will do to their lives - the only hope we have, and they have, is that a sustained campaign of violence and destruction, against the property and persons of the data criminals, can secure the safety of us all.

Yes, I know: I am advocating terrorism.

The law is failing us and we are in danger.
