@ukhomeoffice@ShabanaMahmood Simple truth is your framing is flawed & counter productive
Use evolving ECtHR jurisprudence & VCLT
Cannavacciuolo evolved Osman standard
Wieder & Guarnieri: Data processing triggers jurisdiction ie. EU asserts effective control over Schengen data but evades ECHR obligations…
@rcolvile Ironically, data without a system in place to utilise that data to assess risk of harm = states failing to understand established & evolving ECtHR jurisprudence.
Know. OughtToKnow. Practical & Effective. Not Illusory. Prolonged inaction on foreseeable harm. Positive obligations.
The problem in the house building trade in the UK. Why houses are not being built. It’s not about planning permission. 400 000 plots have permission but houses are not being build. This video tells you why. Please watch and share
@SanjaKrestalica I agree it’s delivered progress in some areas but it clashes with legal certainty.
It retrospectively defines rights (often years after harm) but lacks preventative clarity.
No authoritative, forward looking, clear updated guidance to help states comply rather than violate.
@SanjaKrestalica The “living doctrine” idea is equivalent to endless windows patches without a full OS update
i.e. piecemeal ECHR court rulings are reactive bug fixes not proactive upgrades
ECHR needs a mandatory holistic review cycle (eg like a sunset clause) to protect future generations
@RupertLowe10 look at the Article 2 ECHR ruling for Cannavacciuolo v. Italy
States now have to:
Act proactively
Collect and publish data
Protect lives
Not collecting/monitoring data on serious risks is a breach of Artcl 2
Can’t avoid ECHR duty by withholding/denying data as that’s inaction!
@DavidDavisMP To demonstrate proactive compliance, have they published a comprehensive, cross-rights impact assessment for digital ID, covering Articles 2, 8 & 14 of the ECHR?
ECHR has moved forwards & requires states to be proactive & holistic i.e. consider systemic risk not just privacy…
@RupertLowe10 ECHR!! Cannavacciuolo v. Italy (2025)
ECtHR ruled failing to collect/act on data about foreseeable risks to life constitutes a breach of Article 2 ECHR.
Ignoring/neglecting data collection is inaction = complicity!
States have a *positive* duty to monitor, inform & protect
@paulpowlesland@EnvAgency 👇 Cannavacciuolo v Italy (2025) establishes environmental protection as a core human rights obligation = article 2 (right to life).
Fragmented agency roles don’t excuse inaction
Failure to prevent, remediate & *clean up* can expose them to litigation

The more you think about it, the more extraordinary - and disturbing - it is...
A group of hackers have singlehandedly caused a fall in UK GDP. Weeks ahead of the Budget.
Can anyone think of a parallel in recent economic history? I can't.
@WilliamJHague@thetimes I agree demand but sorry, I don’t see a persuasive argument for digital ID?
Denmark has digital ID but it’s not that that’s the enforcement tool - it’s regular visible enforcement through random workplace inspections, consistent audits & strict employer penalties & sanctions…
Following the theft of France’s priceless crown jewels, we asked Professor Anja Shortland, an expert in the economics of crime (@KingsSSPP) (@Kingspol_econ), what the #Louvre heist reveals about museum security, organised crime and the economics of the art market.

Incredibly rare type of Roman road discovered in Worcester 🇬🇧. The road is said to be of “global importance” with its only comparatives being roads in Rome and Pompeii. The discovery was made after a resident noticed what appeared to be a Roman road and contacted an archaeology advisor.
The road is believed to have been hidden for nearly 2000 years.
Archaeologists were brought in to establish the authenticity of the cobbled path.
The road is constructed with large stones laid in bands, a well-known Roman building technique. The site may be reburied to protect it from deteriorating while Historic England is kept informed.

Government ID photos of around 70,000 Discord users worldwide have been stolen after hackers breached the security of an age verification company.
If these tech companies can't keep our data safe, what hope does Whitehall have of keeping digital IDs safe?

@RupertLowe10@KieranMullanUK@SWDevonRebecca And in terms of contracting out digital ID to third parties (as the EU’s SIS ll is) it’s worth reminding about the thousands of critical security flaws found in SIS ll after an audit…
…and it will soon merge with EES…

@ashsmith43@Feargal_Sharkey Balance sheets are used to show financial viability but what about environmental costs?
If companies profit whilst polluting, maybe it’s time they produced “balance shits” to make ecological damage visible, measurable and accountable!
