HybridMind42 & Marvin the CatJan 26

The Post Office Horizon scandal wasn’t “just” an IT failure.
It was a case of a translation system becoming unfalsifiable — and then legally authoritative.
When reality disagreed, reality lost.
This pattern matters far beyond this case: whenever metrics override judgement and systems stop listening to boundary truth, people closest to reality get crushed.
I’ve written a longer piece on the structure behind the scandal here:

#Fujitsu ist wirklich eine ehrlose Eiterbeule und der #postOfficeScandal ist noch nicht abgeschlossen. Wenn Ihr Euch so richtig die Laune verderben wollt, springt mal in das Rabbithole.
Ich vergesse immer wieder, wie schlimm Fujitsu war/ist, wenn ich das richtig verstehe, hat Fujitsu immer noch nicht abschliessend gezahlt und das Dokument weisst nach, dass bekannt war, dass die Buchungsdaten veränderbar waren. Und sie kriegen immer noch Regierungsverträge.

Der #PostOfficeScandal ist ein Lehrstück dafür, was passiert, wenn EDV-Systeme als unfehlbare Blackboxen betrachtet werden. Und was fehlendes technisches Verständnis von Journalisten und der Öffentlichkeit in Kombination mit der Vertuschung von Problemen anrichten kann.

If there's one thing the British State hates it's when us little people win against them.
And while this scandal is FINALLY being dealt with, there are a number of other Government scandals carrying on as we speak....
