Behind Digital Walls
A great piece of policy research from Citizens Advice on “… how people are being locked out of essential services”.
“[Citizens Advice] assessed the evidence provided by advisors and found that there are three key mechanisms of harm that result in people facing #DigitalExclusion from #Services.”
🔀 Two-tier Support - We are living in a two-tiered system, where digitally excluded individuals get second-class support.
⛓️ Channel Lock - People are being locked into using either digital or non-digital services, when they need to be able to switch between them.
🔻 Poor Digital Design - Poor digital design and high levels of friction mean people struggle to access support. Sometimes they give up.

So today's little #DigitalExclusion story is about #Eurostar. I'm taking a Eurostar to Paris tomorrow, and because of all the extra faffing about at passport control thanks to Brexit, I thought I'd better take seriously any recommended time to arrive before my train is due to leave.
Their website says to arrive at the time recommended on your ticket, except that there is no recommended arrival time on the PDF ticket. You can only see that in their app.

"Driverless taxis set to launch in UK as soon as September"
I have no doubt that, once the technology is sufficiently mature, driverless cars will be safer than ones driven by humans. Humans cause a lot of crashes.
I am yet to be convinced that the technology will be sufficiently mature by September, but let's see.
I am also bothered by the built-in #DigitalExclusion. How are you supposed to hail a cab if you don't or can't have the app?

I think moving NHS services more online is a positive development, as long as there is still an offline version available for people who can't or won't use smartphones or similar technology.
So all the government now needs to do is to build a massive IT system to support it.

"The plans would require anyone starting a new job or renting a home to show the card on a smartphone app"
Does Starmer realise that not everyone has a smartphone?
If Starmer insists on going ahead with this crazy scheme I suspect it could be his Poll Tax Moment.

I strongly disapprove of companies who provide some kind of service which I could interact with perfectly well online via a web browser, but they try to push me into using their app.
Sure, there are times when a dedicated app is handy, but there are many more times when everything I need could be done perfectly well through a web browser, no app required.
I just came across a particularly egregious example of this from Trading 212.

There's an interesting white paper by the Citizen's Advice Bureaus on #digitalexclusion from #newzealand government services. It's worth a skim through if you're a kiwi.
