UK Law Proposal to Criminalize Re-Identification of Anonymized User Data
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/government/uk-law-proposal-to-criminalize-re-identification-of-anonymized-user-data/
While Olejnik applauds the UK's efforts to expand user data
privacy protections, he warns that the UK may be treading
dangerous ground. "There are several issues with [the]
banning of reidentification," he says. "First, it won't work.
Second, it will decrease security and privacy." The biggest
problem in Olejnik's eyes is that there's is no effective way
to enforce it in practice. Second, it stifles security and
privacy research who often re-identify anonymized data in
their day-to-day work.
