Perhaps our most personal data (medical records) & even BBC thinks we're likely to just throw our chance to withdraw consent away unnoticed!

>"This is because GPs will be handing over the raw data, which includes NHS numbers, date of births, postcodes, genders & ethnicities." Wow!

@C7RKY@PaulbernalUK OMG how painful to see the comments on this, once again starting the discussion from "postcode isn't anonymous" -
@CyberSecKent@PaulbernalUK Painful in what sense? You think those commenting are wrong, & the data is sufficiently anonymous in raw form? -
@C7RKY@PaulbernalUK Not wrong: unfocused. My take with many links here: https://theconversation.com/outdated-laws-put-your-health-data-in-jeopardy-22465 …. On anonymisation NHS know their stuff. -
@CyberSecKent@PaulbernalUK That's a fascinating piece, thank you. So if NHS know data can be de-anonymised, why hand over raw data at cost? -
@C7RKY@PaulbernalUK (3/3) so combining those with GP appointments of pseudonymised records would still de-anonymise fully. -

@CyberSecKent@PaulbernalUK But with DoB/gender/postcode, I can't imagine you'd need much more than the voters' roll to crack that, surely? -
@c7rky@cyberseckent Probably not… do you know the work of Narayanan and Shmatikov? http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~shmat/shmat_oak08netflix.pdf … -
@PaulbernalUK@cyberseckent I'd heard of it being done, but never seen that kind of detail - thanks Paul.

@canstillblush@PaulbernalUK I've already done it! It's assumed 'consent by acquiescence', when disclosure is almost hidden, that gets me.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
