- gambiting 1y agoTbf, the team behind .gov websites has been exceptional and I think that part of the digitization of government services has been done really well. So I think it's definitely possible - the question is will the government do that, or will they pay someone few billion quid for an off the shelf solution from a company owned by someone's uncle/brother/cousin that will be a flaming mess.
- gortok 1y agoIt’s not the technical expertise that is the concern. It’s what the UK government has shown time and again when they ask for more data: they use it for previously denied-aims to expand their surveillance state. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mass_surveillance_in_the_United_Kingdom https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mass_surveillance...
