Cambridge analytica springs to mind.

if the above is representative, then it's back to the drawing board for GCHQ - they will have to find another way to suck the lifeblood out of us in bitwise fashion

Maybe click the 'Poll' button on the 'Create new topic' page? 

No need for smart arses?

The issue seems to be that the rest of the world is aproaching tracking things by using google etc, rather than a bespoke UK based app. Why not go along with everone else? Ultimately it's the same thing but I don't want my movements exclusively in the hands of the tories and their ilk. Google etc is pretty much unavoidable, though you can run VPN's to get round things.

I have Siri turned off on my phone and restrict access to my microphone and I still get adverts for ‘things’ I’ve just been talking about. (Very creepy)
Why don’t they just ask us to put a chip in our foreheads .....

I would have set up a poll if I knew how to.

 

A) yes.

B) no

C) not to start with

D) I wouldn't trust the bastards with my data even though you could find out all about me on the web.

Maybe J will do one ?

 

(A) Trump is a turnip

(B). UK Planning regs are pants

(C). I love the EU

(D) I want the dotGov tracker but only if it gives a loud audio/vibrate alarm for proximity to UKIPers

 

Im only gonna vote if the app also has political tendencies included in the data. It might be a redundancy function (for now) but it would make so much sense to future proof it now and allow for the effective segregation and re-education of Momentum types as we move ever closer to a Boris cult.

What makes you think you haven’t already been chipped?

I’m still alive and not in prison. [emoji51]

It’s a ‘town’ solution potentially being imposed on a vastly differing national problem. 
 

I can easily go weeks/months without 15m proximity to strangers!

 

On that basis, they can bash it, not interested.

They’re coming.
