It’s so long, see you never 🤞 for this flawed legislation that would’ve removed controls over our data and handed power to UK government bodies and companies.
ORG and civil society organisations fought the Bill to ensure it wasn’t just nodded into law 🔥

House E&C subcommittee just voted to advance the American #Privacy Rights Act to a full committee markup, even though a handful of lawmakers raised significant concerns about the bill's definitions of targeted advertising, preempting state authority and lack of biometric protections and watered down provisions for children's online privacy
In the entire history of computing, there has never been a more important time to teach people about #Linux than right now.
(And never a worse time for me not to be doing @Linux4Everyone -- so I hope my fellow YouTube and content creators will double down and show people the light!)
ORG calls on the UK government to SCRAP the controversial #Data Protection and Digital Information Bill now that they've called a #GeneralElection for 4 July.
A Bill that batters our data rights shouldn't be rammed through last minute, bypassing the remaining stages of Parliamentary scrutiny.
OK - but the problem is, they're going to lend credence to #Microsoft's claims that they're "dedicated to #privacy/#security", even though we know that A. it's lip service, and B. secure, private systems are currently not technically possible at all, let alone with MS products.
The proper regulatory response would be "No & we're going to need 3rd party documentation for privacy & security before you launch anything like this again & this goes for the entire industry".
Although some will be fortunate enough to escape the perils of MS #Recall and move to #Linux we have to accept for the vast majority this is either simply not allowed by their IT departments or not possible due to the heavy reliance and integration with other Microsoft products that aren’t truely available on Linux. Whilst we should embrace an uptake of Linux we should continue to fight for #privacy and just common sense in Windows.
"Everybody looks at everybody all the time and you don't need to be a celebrity to feel the need for privacy. I myself was recently in big trouble with my Confessor for being slow to post a birthing video. I'm not talking about being either an extrovert or an introvert: I'm talking about people who don't believe privacy is a perversion, people who think it might even be a virtue."
I'm in two minds about Blind Faith. I really enjoyed the sci-fi satire in Ben Elton's earlier novels, especially This Other Eden and Stark. But I find The Circle - the Dave Eggers novel not the lame NetFix adaption - to be much more effective as a dystopian projection of privacy-dissolving "social media". On the other hand, Eggers' novel was published in 2013, while Blind Faith came out in 2007, when FB, YT and Xitter were only just appearing. Making Elton's dystopia much more prophetic.
That said, there's a fine line between satire and snobbery. Idiocracy manages to stay on the right side of it by making its protagonists a working class grunt and a sex worker. Ben Elton's growing disdain for infotainment ("Reality TV" and "social media") pushes some of his later books onto the snobbery side of the line, starting with Dead Famous in 2001. Sadly, for all its aspirations to be Brave New World for the digital age, I think Blind Faith is firmly on the snobbery side of the line too.
