This misleading propaganda website by @ukhomeoffice which hides its source and aims to deter asylum seekers seems to also raise questions of compliance with UK data law. I recently FOIA’d the @ukhomeoffice on compliance: whatdotheyknow.com/request/726991…
Here is the recent story on the misleading covert propaganda site independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
They claim to be compliant with data law… now I’m wondering if this was correct @GeorgeChiesa @RaviNa1k sadly they refused my request for docs on grounds of time/quantity. I will follow up on this…
Sorry, to clarify this is the section (2) they refused on grounds of time which clearly shows they don’t actually know or have an easy record or way of checking whether their contractors are actually compliant

Yeh, I’d also say the original comment is an example of just those things some academics assume and take for granted about that ‘average plummer’, or whomever it might be not really being capable of grasping their high and mighty ideas…
Oh and they probably could spell plumber. 👨‍🔧
And not sure which assumptions I’m assumed to have unquestioningly started from and then adhered to, but my experience of academia is one of every assumption I ever had being upturned, constantly and repeatedly.

All the articles telling us big data driven AI was now going to save us after all and we had to get over pre-covid privacy worries. During digital dependency we need privacy more than ever.
There are many ways data can help us but not without careful regulations that make sure it’s protected, safe, effective and for the public good… not just a bunch of companies capitalising on crisis.
“In the end, many hundreds of predictive tools were developed. None of them made a real difference, and some were potentially harmful”

Political Communication departments please when you are writing your recruitment ads and planning your futures can you try and keep a little open minded? Always you specify scholars who use quantitative methods, data analytics and surveys focused on understanding public 1/

3 years ago my #CambridgeAnalytica and #SCL evidence was published by @CommonsDCMS Fake News Inquiry. You cannot know how hard, how terrifying it was. 3 years on I still live, write, publish in constant threat but I grow stronger, fight harder with a little help from my friends.
I’m being told to share the new link as my evidence moved you can read it here old.parliament.uk/business/commi…
