South Korea has become the latest nation to change cryptocurrency legislation and proposes the elimination of the restriction on Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs).
We need an independent regulator to ensure strong protections and get redress when things go wrong.
But the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill (UK) weakens the role of the Information Commissioner's Office. That’s why we've presented amendments.
The revolving door between business and the UK data protection regulator must stop to prioritise our rights.
✅ ORG's amendment protects the new Commission from regulatory capture by introducing a three-years stay period that prohibits its members to work for the industries they were regulating.

UK government creating authoritarian state through total #surveillance of innocent citizens going about their daily business.
"Senior officials at the #UKHomeOffice secretly lobbied the UK’s independent privacy regulator to act “favourably” towards a private firm keen to roll out controversial facial recognition technology across the country, according to internal government emails seen by the Observer"
This is precisely how the 'average' person can be burnt by being blasé about the personal information they divulge to companies. It's simply not enough to trust they will protect it (whether by administrative controls (policies etc.) or technical controls (encryption etc.).
