Odd Stuff (Part 2)

UK Conservative Party used 10 million people’s names to derive their country of origin, ethnicity and religion according to ICO report

The UK’s ruling Conservative has been using personal data in a way that spots an individual’s likely county of origin, ethnic origin and religion based on their first and last name.

According to an ICO report, the Tory party purchased so-called “estimated onomastic data” and appended it to the records of 10 million voters.

I was about to stop the video when he said something along the lines of : “So now I just need darts so I can build a landmine.”
Interesting game.
