I picked this one up from the Compliance and Privacy site:

It doesn't affect my own company or clients that I have currently, and it
probably doesn't affect many on this discussion list in terms of the
processing and disclosure, but it has seemed to slip under the radar.
I hadn't thought about the implications until I clicked the "Discuss this
article" link at the foot. I was in "Those with nothing to hide have
nothing to fear" thought mode, I suppose. The post on that discussion forum
from "dazed" (don't people pick strange names?) highlighted something that I
wonder if the lawmakers have thought through - that of those who are
convicted and thus whose data is disclosed, and then who are subsequently
cleared on appeal.
What happens to their credit status. I know that, at the time, it's the
least of their worries, but is the process there to undo that which has been
done? And, come to that, how will they know that it needs to be done (as
individuals) and start the "undoing" process going?
Before you say "no smoke without fire", consider the link in Peter Andrews's
reply to dazed that goes to The Times Online, where it appears that at least
some of Operation Ore's evidence is deeply flawed. It could mean "there but
for the grace of god go we" if we use the wrong payment processor online.
