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.
40 % of the infrastructure expenditure is burnt to send #SMS codes.
I was forced to receive an SMS from Signal more than once after the first time. The SMS arrived from a sender I had never heard about. Signal's subprocessors are not listed on https://signal.org/legal/#privacy-policy (which doesn't even acknowledge the existence of #GDPR).
With the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill at Committee Stage in the UK House of Lords, here's a round-up of what's changing with data protection in the UK.
You’ll have weaker rights to challenge how data is used and shared with less ability to find that out in the first place.
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.
European Commission’s use of Microsoft 365 infringes data protection law for EU institutions and bodies, says the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS)

A loud part of the Fediverse (majority or not 🤷) is afraid of federation with #threads. I disagree! For many organisations, this is a chance to escape the #networkeffect and improve #GDPR compliance. They can have a data-protection friendly presence in the #fediverse and still have followers who choose to have their accounts on #surveillanceCapitalism platforms. I hope that (a) Instagram accounts get also access to Fediverse content (b) they implement moving servers. 😉 #teamDatenschutz#EUVoice
It‘s on! I just filed a complaint against the Austrian subsidiary of a German data broker.
My first claim is that they have violated my right to information by, well, not providing any when they began scraping and selling my personal data, thereby effectively depriving me of my other data subject rights.
My second claim is that they have also violated my right to data protection by processing my personal data unlawfully and intransparently.

As the #DPDIBill returns to the UK Parliament, we're calling for amendments to strengthen the independence and effectiveness of the Information Commissioner's Office.
With the ICO's weak enforcement record, ORG has worked with Members of the House of Lords to table amendments to better defend our data rights and improve accountability.
Real-world harms result from data misuse and legal safeguards are only as good as their enforcement.
❌ #DPDIBill abolishes the Biometrics and Surveillance Camera Commissioner and the requirement for the government to publish a surveillance camera code of practice.
✅ Our amendment retains the Commissioner for proper oversight of this expanding and privacy-intrusive technology.

The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill returns to the UK House of Lords today.
We've been working on amendments to stop changes that undermine the independence of the Information Commissioner's Office and improve how they protect our data rights.
Parliament needs to ensure we have a strong, independent regulator that will stand up against the misuse of data by corporations and government.
Just got registered with a local GP in Ireland¹ and their first email states that all their staff are “formally trained in GDPR procedures and any information you give will be used in the strictest confidence.”
Their email address is @gmail.com

¹ This, in and of itself, is a bloody miracle these days, apparently, and only happened because it’s a new practice that’s just opening up.
