Saw THE NERDIEST THING EVER --> Friend downed a cup of gin over a ZK-EVM debate at 2am the other day.

Figured I better do my homework before meeting them next.

Mini 🧵summarizing @VitalikButerin 's "The Different Types of ZK-EVMs"
vitalik.ca/general/2022/0…
@VitalikButerin 1/ There's been a lot of buzz recently about "ZK-EVM" projects.

Projects like @0xPolygon, @zksync, and @Scroll_ZKP have all made announcements, alongside others.

We will explore key differentiation between ZK-EVM & hopefully it brings your zero-knowledge up to some-knowledge!
@VitalikButerin @0xPolygon @zksync @Scroll_ZKP 2/ The goal of these projects is to use ZK-SNARK technology to make cryptographic proofs of execution of Ethereum-like transactions.

This could make it much easier to verify the Ethereum chain itself or to build ZK-rollups that are much more scalable.

Ok, since I have been badgering you somewhat for donations to my @DiabetesUK million step challenge fundraiser I should explain in a bit more detail why...
When I was 21, and at university, I started feeling unwell. I thought nothing of it, maybe a virus (it was November, so flu season) decided to take some time away from lectures and get some rest....
My symptoms worsened, frequent urination and thirst being the main ones, but still, I persisted. Probably something flu-like....

Here's a fun #NINO - the UK's National Insurance Number - [Thread] to start the weekend 👇

Maybe I should do an #NHSnumber one sometime? It's a fascinating story, which (ironically) starts with these...
[With thanks to @guy_herbert, @TomSamaki, @PrivacyMatters & others for encouragement!]

Before I start a geeky 'deep dive' on the #NHSnumber, to provide some (personal/professional) context that will hopefully become apparent, I'll just drop these two images here:
So, to begin.

After the Second World War, in a time when we started to think (again) what a #civilised society would be, and when our leaders tried to agree #principles like #UDHR that might prevent the recurrence of genocide, and support #dignity and #HumanRights for all...

I certainly don't disagree with @AdaLovelaceInst's five messages...

adalovelaceinstitute.org/blog/distrust-…

...but a few points of clarification:

1) The #NationalDataOptOut, while it was (cack-handedly) introduced alongside #GDPR in May 2018, had in fact existed since #caredata - when it... Image
...was known as a #Type2 opt out - in case you were wondering about the derivation of #Type1s.

2) There was no announced date for the "expiration" of #Type1 opt-outs - certainly NOT "June 2021". There's no mention of this in the #GPDPR #DPN issued on...

nhs-prod.global.ssl.fastly.net/binaries/conte… Image
...12 May 2021, and one has to wonder who suggested this to the authors. And why. (A subtle attempt to 'rewrite history'?)

3) #caredata did NOT "lead to" #Caldicott2; indeed, Dame Fiona's Review predated the scheme by months - and was instrumental in...

Hi, @BHFDataScience! Please could you point me to a copy of your letter that is reported here:

theguardian.com/science/2021/j…

I've checked your website, but I can't seem to find a copy:

hdruk.ac.uk/helping-with-h…
Ah, no worries - I see it now. You tweeted a link to it, and I see it is on @HDR_UK's website:

hdruk.ac.uk/news/nhs-digit…

On reading your letter, @medConfidential would heartily agree with paragraphs 1, 3 and 5...
On paragraph 3, we very much agree that #trustworthy use of patient data for #ethically-approved #research is good.

But not ALL intended uses of #GPDPR *are* trustworthy, as @NHSDigital's own data release registers confirm:

A '#Mythbusting' mayhem [Thread]:

Last Friday, 4 June, @NHSDigital removed the “Mythbusting social media posts” box from the top of its main #NationalDataOptOut page:

web.archive.org/web/diff/20210… < Web Archive diff showing 3 June vs 5 June

They also removed...
...the @NHSDigital call centre phone number and replaced it with text directing people to the #NHSapp. (If they tell us what changed, we’ll change our website too – but they’ve not yet asked.)

In the same time frame, they changed the...
...“Read NHS Digital's response to the false information about the national data opt-out” link link on:

nhs.uk/your-nhs-data-…

so that instead of going to the “Mythbusting social media posts about the national data opt-out” page...

The Government has instructed your GP to hand over your lifelong medical history – your GP doesn’t have a choice, but YOU DO... until 23rd June.

If you don’t want your family’s #GPdata used & sold to Hancock’s cronies, send/give this letter to your GP:

medconfidential.org/wp-content/upl…
While @NHSDigital’s #OptingOut page* says a #Type1 “can only be recorded by your GPpractice” & doesn’t even link to the form, it’s worth noting #GeneralPractice is currently the busiest it’s ever been. Why is @DHSCgovuk putting even more work onto GPs?

* digital.nhs.uk/about-nhs-digi…
Decisions aren’t only made by @NHSDigital, of course -but it WILL give your data to others.

Like #CPRD, which gives it to companies to #identify specific patients’ #records; and #PHE, which gave #cancer patients’ data to a “causes of cancer” study run by a #tobacco company...

I'm afraid not. For the 2021 #GPdata grab, to prevent your entire GP history being copied by @NHSDigital you must ask your GP to add a 'Type 1' opt-out to your GP record.

The official form to do that is here:
nhs-prod.global.ssl.fastly.net/binaries/conte…

Or you can use ours:
medconfidential.org/how-to-opt-out/
The GP Privacy Notice* issued by @NHSDigital is on first glance a bit confusing, suggesting you can do a #Type1 "or" a #NationalDataOptOut - but (as the Notice goes on to explain) the latter WILL NOT STOP your #GPdata from being taken...

__
*digital.nhs.uk/data-and-infor…
...and if you do not opt out using a #Type1 to your GP before data is first extracted (from 1 July 2021*) then your entire GP history will be taken on first upload - and will NEVER be deleted!

__
*Hence the 23 June 2021 deadline, so your opt-out form(s) can be processed in time.

Margaret's blog refers to @NHSDigital's #DataProtectionNotice for the #COVID19 #GPES extract, but somehow omits to mention that people's #Type1 objections (#OptOuts) WILL be upheld: Image
And also that, according to digital.nhs.uk/coronavirus/gp…, actually *enhanced* #InformationGovernance processes - involving both @TheBMA & @rcgp - will be in place for data #access, which "may" include respecting #NDOP on a "case by case basis": ImageImage
Meanwhile, @NHSEngland/@NHSX in their notice to health & care professionals (while notably failing to mention #Type1s...) confirms patients STILL have the right to #OptOut of having a #SummaryCareRecord, and that existing #SCR #OptOuts will be respected:
