POPSThe UK REAL ID Program Same as the US but more blatant spying. The US REAL ID incorporates the social security number from which all financial, medical, credit and personal info can be data-mined easily. Here the UK admits open collection of a broad amount of information. The UK does not have a bill of rights and the US acts like it does not. "Membership has its privileges" could be their slogan, without this you cannot "buy or sell".

POPSWorld Privacy Forum's Top Ten Opt Outs Go to the web site to find out how to use these privacy opt outs. Be very careful opting out of unwanted eMail, though. If it really is unsolicited spam, you could just be verifying to the spammers that they've found a valid eMail address.

POPSChina tracks citizens Wow, looks like china have a guinea pig city for their id cards. This goes to prove that id cards are now a global must. Interesting to note that they are "planning" to have credit histories on the card. People need to think critically about these type of programs which are being rolled out across the globe. Why are they being put in place? Fighting crime and "terrorism" are the de-facto reasons given. You'd be a fool to think that was the primary reason and a bigger one to believe that it is the primary reason. A good shepherd always knows where his sheep are and what they are doing. What a nice fuzzy feeling.

POPSAmazon FPS System Lame? Whilst reading Hacker News at ycombinator dot com I came across the following piece from an experience Amazon FPS user. I have to say I'm not surprised, and mentioned briefly in a previous blog posting about how Amazon's success is still in limbo (at least in this category dominated by Auth.net and others) The requirement of an Amazon account is crazy, talk about a hurdle pre-checkout!

POPSSmall-Dollar Campaign Finance Fraud Is So Passe' Good on the Obama campaign for noticing a contribution that exceeded federal limits by 7,500% (exactly 7,500%, oddly), especially since noticing glaring irregularities hasn't been their strongest suit thus far. The Obama fundraising machine may owe its sensational success in part to a relaxation of standard online merchant security practices, which has allowed illegal donations from foreign donors and from unknown individuals using anonymous “gift” cards, industry analysts and a confidential informant tell Newsmax ... The Obama campaign has turned a blind eye to the possibility of donor fraud. Reportedly, during the heated primary battle with Hillary Clinton, the Obama campaign “turned off” many of the security features on its online donor page, allowing any person with a valid credit card number to donate using any name or address. http://www.suitablyflip.com/suitably_flip/2008/10/obama-turns-bli.html
