Abstract:
The perspective of anonymisation is one of ‘I don’t know who
you are, but I know this about you’, while the perspective of anti-discrimination
legislation is the complementary ‘I don’t know this about you, but I know who
you are’. I look at how organisations have attempted to comply with the law,
and show that this has led to confusion and lack of compliance. The fundamental
problem arises from ambiguous and incompatible definitions, and recent changes
to the law have made it worse. I illustrate some of the damaging adverse
consequences, for both individuals and for society, that have arisen from this
confusion.
