Kept in a cloud environment

Digital ID data will all be hosted in UK, minister claims

As it continues to face a litany of questions seeking details of the planned identity regime, the government has now indicated that the supporting infrastructure will be on UK shores

While data related to new virtual identity – use of which will be a mandatory part of all pre-employment checks – will be kept in a cloud environment, the physical datacentre facilities used for this storage will be situated in the UK, according to junior Cabinet Office minister Josh Simons.

All powered by Ed's vitally important, saving the planet for future generations, sustainable energy policies of course. Anything else would be inconsistent, hypocritical heat-doom...

But in that case, does this development imply that our digital identities are likely to disappear during dark nights when there there is little or no wind?

Well of course not, Ed's twaddle is just twaddle when it comes to anything important. The datacentre facilities won't rely on Ed's sustainable energy, not for something as vital as digital Orwellian infrastructure.
