Re: In Estonia you can find out who has looked at your data

Well, that's Estonia. They've had a Police State in recent memory, and they're sensibly wary of state overreach and abuse.

Meanwhile over here in blighty, having avoided being the 'at fault' party in two world wars (rather narrowly on the first one, what with a tendency to shoot their own mentally ill) and avoided any dictatorships since that nasty Cromwell business (OK, plus maybe an out of control King or two since then), the arrogant prevailing notion is nothing of the sort could possibly happen here, which is why the government is in serious danger of blundering toward it blithely.
