UK govt publishes contracts granting Amazon, Microsoft, Google and AI firms access to COVID-19 health data

After reading this article and the supplied links this just prompts me further to NOT TO INSTALL the Test, Track and Trace app when it eventually appears. To many third party private companies are getting access to our data to use for money making activities and most of them are suspect data security losers. Even "Lady Dido Harding" who is in charge of Track and Trace was the CEO of TalkTalk when it was hit by a cyber-attack affecting tens of thousands of customers financial data etc.. The ICO fined them £400,000:00 for this hack.

*Spits out coffee* £4m for a database of drone fliers, UK.gov? Defra did game shooters for £300k

What A Rip Off !!

I'v just received my Drone Operator ID Registration Details for Hobby Drone Flying. Someone is making over £4m a year for something I could have put together here at home using MS software (MS Expression Free/MS Access). Yearly purchase of the domain and hosting for less than £200:00 a year. The actual so called "certificate" is a joke. Its sent out as a plain text email along with ones Flyer ID and ends up on two A4 pages and does not even look like a official certificate document. Very amateurish.

Even the website is poorly designed.

At the end of the day it wont stop anyone misbehaving with a drone, as they just wont bother to register.

No fax given: Blighty's health service bods told to ban snail mail, too

Re: Hancock's half hour

Well said. Agree completely.

NASA readies its asteroid warning system for harmless flyby

Fly Past? What a Waste of a Rocket!!!

Why do a fly past of it. If its a test for defence purposes, why not put a few tons of TNT in the rockets cone and blast it out of existence. That would be a real test for defence purposes! Thats of course if everyone involved can tell the correct time. LOL. With a bit of luck the bits might get the satellites that broadcast the Sky TV channels in the UK.
