Our opinion on tech responses to #COVIDー19 is released today. Myself, @mryderqc and Eddie Craven of @matrixchambers and @gsarathy1 of @BlackstoneChbrs considered the human rights impacts of UK's gov proposals.

Opinion is here: awo.agency/covid-19-legal…

Thread on our findings: 1. Contact tracing - centralised system would require significantly greater justification to be lawful. That justification has not yet been forthcoming. In contrast, a decentralised system like #DP3T would be likely to comply with both human rights and data protection laws.

Some initial thoughts on the @ICOnews report into data analytics and political campaigns (a short thread). Report is here: ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/… 1. Note that the action against Leave.EU is under PECR, so not pure DPA. Interesting decision given the data protection concerns reported re Eldon insurance and Leave.EU etc.
