Brace yourselves: New UK Data Laws are Coming
The Government have just announced their plans to gut the UK General Data Protection Regulation.
They are proposing to bonfire your rights and remove the protections the law affords to your:- Private life
- Vulnerabilities
- Aspirations.This is but a natural product of poor proposals being discussed in a rigged consultation process.
Big multinational corporations, their lawyers, and corporate-funded think tanks were advising the Government on how to keep our data safe, courtesy of the “International Data Transfers Expert Council”.
At the same time, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport were taking care of ignoring the critical voices of civil society and ordinary citizens, in a delicate balance of arbitrary cherry-picking and a smokescreen of wishful thinking.
The outcome of such a shiny example of integrity in policymaking is rather damning.
According to what the Government have announced, individuals would lose protections against discrimination and abuses, only to get less choices in return.
Dodgy businesses would get their licence to be malicious, reckless, and to launder your personal data overseas, far from your eyes and those of the Regulators.
The cherry on the cake, the Information Commissioner’s Office (the Regulator) would be coopted by the same Government they should keep an eye on.

I just finished reading “Permanent Records” by Ed Snowden. Very interesting read and pretty well written.
The stuff he talks about is obviously shocking beyond measure and I can’t believe people are still very comfortable using media and communication devices as if all was well.
I feel so amazed that he decided to go through with his plan knowing the unavoidable consequences. He really did all this in a way as to make sure the stories he was bringing would be the main topic instead of himself.
One passage really marked me when he explains how, when the day of his actions were closing by, he got a sense of “finality” and he realised that those were the last times he would meet so and so, and had to say silent goodbyes in the depth of his heart...
Read it!
