We believe the latest Data Protection and Digital Information Bill, UK’s post-Brexit replacement for Europe’s GDPR data regime, introduced yesterday by @michelledonelan, is worse than the previous one and puts data rights at severe risk.
Here’s why🧵#DPDIBill

Here we explained how the previous version was riddled with thorny issues and a business-centric approach that neglects data privacy and transparency
The government now says it has ‘co-designed the latest version of the bill with businesses and data experts”, and that it could save organisations in Britain £4.7bn over ten years.

Putting processing that is "necessary" for "direct marketing" as a valid legitimate interest directly into Article 6 of the UK's GDPR Brexit, which has been officially "co-designed with business", really looks disastrous (irrespective of / in combination with the other changes). 
And the phrase "The Secretary of State may" appears 84 times oh my 🥴
...not mentioning the identifiability stuff, the further processing / purpose stuff, the "recognized legitimate interests" stuff, the records-of-processing" stuff, the SAR firewall etc.

Does anyone have an estimate of whether the current changes to "information relating to an identifiable living individual" in the bill effectively enable almost unlimited pseudonymized data processing on steroids or not?
⚠️ The government has announced revisions to the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill. It appears that the revised version will be worse than the last, posing a greater threat to our privacy rights. Our response to today's announcement. #DPDIBill openrightsgroup.org/press-releases…
"The UK has an opportunity to create a world-leading data protection law that puts people’s privacy rights at the fore, and aligns with our biggest markets. Instead, this appears to be an attempt to take power from citizens and give it to government" @burkeabigaile #DPDIBill
@burkeabigaile The revised #DPDIBill fails to address the privacy concerns raised by civil society, despite our open letter signed by 26 organisations. In fact the Bill expands the ways that businesses and government bodies can process, use and re-use our data. openrightsgroup.org/press-releases…
Yesterday we sent an urgent open letter to @michelledonelan with 25 other civil society groups. We called on the government to scrap the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill and the attack on our data protection rights. Here's why.

@michelledonelan The #DPDIBill lowers the threshold for organisations to refuse a Subject Access Request and removes individuals’ right to not to be subjected to solely automated decision making. 2/7
@michelledonelan The independence of the @ICOnews will be reduced by the #DPDIBill. As the ICO plays a key part in the oversight of the government’s use of data, this is extremely problematic. 3/7
Happy Data Protection and Digital Information (No 2) Bill Day! #DPDIBill
Today's Commons Order Paper gives us the long title for the Bill - the same as when it was introduced in summer 2022 commonsbusiness.parliament.uk/Document/75863…
Expect it to be presented after PMQs & any UQs/statements

The government has published a press release which gives a little, but not much, more detail:
'British Businesses to Save Billions Under New UK Version of GDPR' gov.uk/government/new…
'British Businesses to Save Billions Under New UK Version of GDPR' gov.uk/government/new…
It links to the same impact assessment as the old Bill, assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…, right down to the old @dcms.gov.uk email address, suggesting not much might have changed
Ten years ago today, on November 6, 2012, Michael Gove announced plans to open up the National Pupil Database for commercial re-use. "It could also help stimulate the market for innovative tools and services."

He changed the law to let the DfE distribute identifying pupil-level data “for a wider range of purposes than currently possible” to “maximise the value of this rich dataset”. #MyRecordsMyRights #DataProtection Ten years later “confidentiality and security” are not working. 2/15
Today, nearly 3 years after the Learner Records Service breach was exposed in the press, the ICO has announced a DfE reprimand over the incident. ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/… 3/15
