another interesting article

"The Commissioner, with the support of the Court of Session, had decided that, as a matter of fact, a set of anonymised medical statistics were not personal data and had ordered their release under Freedom of Information (FOI) laws.
According to one expert,
the Lords' judgment shows that the Commissioner had failed to appreciate that the degree of anonymisation employed was very likely to be insufficient to protect anonyminity"
so an information commissioner is getting there wrist slapped for not protecting privacy
i wonder if the UK ICO is watching this
for anonymity read privacy
hmm
