⚠️ 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…
@burkeabigaile As well as harming data rights, the government’s proposals have been criticised as potentially damaging for the economy, by putting the UK at risk of failing to meet EU adequacy requirements. Legal fees alone may be up to £1.6 billion. #DPDIBill techcrunch.com/2020/11/23/bre…
@burkeabigaile The government’s proposals will affect us all, but particularly those who are already vulnerable and marginalised. We urge @michelledonelan to listen to the concerns of civil society and put people at the centre of the #DPDIBill. Join our campaign today. action.openrightsgroup.org/stop-data-disc…
