The #DPDIBill (UK) makes it easier for organisations to refuse access to the data they hold about you.

It'll be harder to engage with or challenge decisions that affect your life, as well as preventing you from correcting inaccurate data.

The #DPDIBill (UK) weakens protections against being subjected to solely automated decision-making with life-changing or significant impacts.

This will drive an influx of algorithmic injustice from coded biases, impacting marginalised communities the most.

The #DPDIBill (UK) contains powers for the government to extend its reach into more of our data for ‘legitimate use’.

Ministers will be able to expand the list of ways that data can be used, reused and shared without Parliamentary oversight or public debate.

The #DPDIBill gives the UK government welfare surveillance powers to access the banking information of anyone who claims a benefit.

From the State Pension to Disability Living Allowance to Child Benefit to Universal Credit, it's an outlandish abuse of power.

The #DPDIBill will scrap the Biometrics and Surveillance Camera Commissioner and removes the Surveillance Camera Code, impacting the oversight of the rapidly expanding use of facial recognition.

The #DataGrabBill lets UK government Ministers approve international data transfers, even if the country lacks data protection rights or remedies for data subjects.

This will make the UK data laundering hub, putting the UK's adequacy agreement with the EU at risk.

People’s rights, not government control or corporate profits, should be the basis of data protection law.

But the UK government wants to tip the scales to use our data against us.

Write to your MP to raise concerns about the #DPDIBill.

The #DPDIBill (UK) waters down the powers of the Information Commissioner's Office and exposes it to government influence, making the regulator's poor track record even worse.
