@CC admin_Sorin Thank you for your response, though it escapes me how CC could have done a “through analysis” and consulted the relevant legal counsel in less than 24 hours. In any event, I’ve written to the UK Data Commissioner and asked that the issue be formally addressed. I just today received a reply saying that the British Government has accepted my query and that it is being referred to appropriate authorities for investigation.
@damon30 Anonymity is an interesting issue. The EU has rejected that argument when advanced by Reddit.
