> And regarding your concern about me, if anything I should be the one engaging in this ridiculous witch hunt against Deep Mind I dunno; if your cavalier attitude toward privacy protections around personal health data reflect how your research was managed, there could be a very strong personal-interest reason for you to be waving around the "no big deal" flag you are waving about DeepMind.
Or maybe maybe I have deeper knowledge of intricacies & current state of healthcare data. Even the expert from Wellcome Trust thinks its “overly-critical”.
Surely you aren't claiming deeper knowledge of UK data protection law and UK best practices regarding processing health-related data than everyone else here? You have demonstrated a lack of familiarity with the general UK/EU regime around privacy and data protection. You were either unaware that the ICO was formally investigating the deal we're talking about or misunderstood the significance of that. You seem to be assuming that everyone else is as liberal with sharing personal data as the US regime, but if anything it's probably the US regime that is the outlier, and it's not something many of us think we should emulate.
