As I was pondering real world scenarios for a more collaborative approach, this excellent blog from Fraser Sampson the Biometrics & Surveillance Commissioner pops into my In Box.

I have spiel on the governance of the slippery slope, put up guardrails, salt, steps etc. Theoretically good, but in this instance, I really can't see the process or the moment or the category description for saying 'no, we don't want to go there, so we will do this, or stop now, no more beyond this'.
