Ari says CDT does oppose a national ID, and I believe that he honestly believes that. But it’s worth taking a look at whether the group’s actions are consistent with opposition to a national ID. I believe CDT’s actions — most recently its support of the PASS ID Act — support the creation of a national ID. (The title of his post and some of his commentary suggest I have engaged in rhetorical excess and mischaracterized his views. Please do judge for yourself whether I’m being shrill or unfair, which is not my intention.) First I want to address an unusual cl...

We previously discussed how weak their authentication model was, making it easy for anyone to grab an account and crash the doctors’ party. Because this model was in place for most of their first 25,000 members, it’s unclear how many of their members actually are physicians. But after blowing through $39M worth of funding, they still seem focused on poking holes in the privacy of their own closed community. We popped over to their homepage the other day and noticed that they are publishing selected postings from their community to their homepage. They now have a nice archive of over 1,500 such articles (about 10% of their total 16,000+ articles now posted to their service) you can review ...
