Statebook: because knowledge is power
Posted on | April 11, 2009 | No Comments
The Open Rights Group (ORG) has launched ‘Statebook’, a website that lists all the information the British authorities hold on each individual citizen in the United Kingdom. It’s really, really scary to see how much and how detailed information is being collected.
ORG writes in their blog: “Today we launched a campaign site, portraying the seemingly unregulated amassing of personal data by the state.
Called Statebook, it is a spoof government site, listing all the information government holds an an individual citizen, based on FIPR and the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust’s Database State report.
The site also shows what what new information the Government want to collect, through new schemes, like the “Intercept Modernisation Programme” which could even include amassing all of our Internet traffic data in a single government database.”
Check out the site here.
