G Dunningham is right to highlight the vulnerability of children's details to paedophile attack.
The Government proposes to house the personal details of all children under 16 in one mega-database, the Children's Register.
Every child in Britain will be exposed as a result of this ever-increasing database mania.
That's every child of ours. If you are a celebrity, your child's details will not appear on this database, one presumes because the Government does not, in fact, believe the database is safe.
This is not a case of whose identity is more important or who's got something to hide. It is a case of questioning why another party, wholly unconnected with oneself, has the right to take personal details without permission and transfer them into a system that is likely to be hacked.
NO2ID and the database state believe the person who should control their details is the person himself.
The public meeting, Whose identity is it anyway?, at the Pilgirim Centre will discuss the whole question of who has the right to control one's personal details. I urge G Dunningham and other readers to come along to it.
