Welcome to the algo-state 🤖
The government is embracing automated, opaque systems to make decisions affecting our lives while making it easier to share and repurpose personal data across departments.
And with the UK #DataAct, we have less ability to put right what AI gets wrong.
Next up, the AI Bill...

The passing of the UK Data Bill is a power grab from the public to the powerful.
Organisations will now be able to do more things with your personal data and you'll have less ability to push back.

While the public debate has focussed on the impact of AI on the creative industries, the Data Bill is harmful for everyone in the UK.

Despite scandals such as officers accessing the files of Sarah Everard, the police no longer have to record why they're accessing someone’s data on a police database under the UK Data Bill.
This reduces accountability at a time when the police should be reassuring the public.

🚨 BREAKING: DATA RIGHTS 🚨
The UK Parliament has passed the Data Use and Access Bill, which contains dangerous changes to data protection law.
People will now have less control over their personal data. That means more automated decision-making, less accountable data sharing and the future of the EU-UK adequacy agreement put in question.

With the passing of the UK Data Bill, people are now in less control over how algorithms and AI make important decisions that affect their lives.
We called for additional safeguards around the use of automated decision making alongside trade unions, civil society groups and experts.
This was rejected, meaning it's harder to object when things go wrong.

The passing of the UK Data Bill is also a blow for democratic procedures in the UK, as we warned in our open letter signed by civil society groups and experts.
Government Ministers can now change the way our data is shared with minimal Parliamentary scrutiny.

Last week, ORG joined @edri and @privacyint in warning that this attack on privacy in the UK Data Bill threatens the UK’s future trade and collaboration with Europe.
Losing our adequacy status when the UK government is trying to grow the economy would be disastrous.

The UK Data Bill amendment for digital verification services to record 'sex at birth' and 'acquired gender' is set to be rejected.
This would've effectively created a transgender label.
With the government given powers to change data protection rules at any time without Parliamentary scrutiny, this data could be used to discriminate against #trans people in an increasingly hostile climate.

The House of Lords has voted for an amendment to the Data Bill which could force tech companies to inform creatives when their work is going to be used to train LLMs, so they can opt out.

Data has become an extension of our identity, our personality, our life.
Data protection rights allow you to assert your own interests and retain control over your life.
In the wake of the regressive UK Supreme Court ruling, this amendment to the UK Data Bill would further expose trans people to harms.

The amendment to the UK Data Bill could force "sex at birth" to be used over gender recognition documents in public databases.
This would potentially lead to the erasure of trans people's data and vital documents, such as medical records, resulting in the denial of important gender-based procedures.

The UK Data Bill has gone back to Parliament over an amendment for public bodies to record people's “sex at birth”.
This would forcibly out trans people, exposing them to discrimination in data-driven decisions.
It's data protection law without the protection.

The UK Data Bill lets Ministers change how your data is used without proper scrutiny by Parliament.
Our open letter warned that a governing Party could use this to their advantage at the time of an election.
MPs must resist this power grab in today's debate.

The ICO has a long track record of inaction.
An FoI disclosure revealed that they took 'regulatory action' in just 1 case out of the 25,582 complaints made to them in 2024.
And currently people have nowhere to turn if the ICO decides not to act.
But the amendment to the UK Data Bill would give people in vulnerable situations a right of appeal to the Information Tribunal.

ORG heard from a survivor of sexual assault and domestic abuse.
Her sense of safety was shattered when a private document with traceable personal information was put on a public website and remained there, despite multiple erasure requests.
She was failed by the Council and failed again by the ICO.

Data protection violations can have a devastating impact on anyone who has experienced violence or abuse.
Any information that can reveal their habits or whereabouts can put them and their children at risk of harm.
We urge UK MPs to change the law and protect the people who need privacy to stay safe.

The UK Data Use and Access Bill is back in Parliament tomorrow. This rights-busting legislation will:
🔴 Reduce transparency over harmful AI.
🔴 Fail to address shortcomings with the data watchdog.
🔴 Lower accountability for law enforcement.
🔴 Expand powers without Parliamentary oversight.Watch our webinar for more ⬇️

The UK Data Use and Access Bill will take away controls we have over our data and hand more power to government bodies and companies.
We'll be vulnerable to our data being used against us and less able to do anything about it.

The UK Data Bill introduces a framework for digital ID verification services that could create barriers to access, such as for older people.
Steffan Aquarone has tabled an amendment that gives people a right to use non-digital forms of ID to improve accessibility and digital inclusion.

The UK #DataBill makes it easier for personal data to be transferred outside the UK, including to countries that lack strong data protection laws.
Once abroad, it can be accessed or misused in ways that would be illegal in the UK. A single data breach could have life-altering consequences.
Alex Sobel MP has tabled an amendment to strengthen safeguards, so UK citizens' data isn't exposed to harmful misuse of data abroad.

An amendment to the UK #DataBill tabled by @sianberry would introduce:
⚫ A statutory complaints procedure with the Information Commissioner's Office for people in vulnerable situations.
⚫ A right of appeal to the Information Tribunal.
This would give survivors of domestic abuse and gender-based violence a clearer route to justice.

Our briefing shows how Henry VIII powers in the UK Data Bill will allow Ministers to change the law without proper Parliamentary scrutiny.
This threatens electoral integrity when the Party in office could fiddle the rules over the use of voter data at a time of their choosing, giving them an advantage – for example to allow practices that the ruling Party was ready to deploy.

Even the limitation on automated decision-making using 'special category data' could be sidestepped by relying on the loophole of 'authorised by law' in the UK Data Bill.
The letter warns that "police will be able to conduct ADM without limitation and to conduct ADM involving sensitive data with very few limitations."

Automated decisions could be made in policing "on the basis of their socioeconomic status, regional or postcode data, inferred emotions, or even regional accents."
The UK Data Bill puts marginalised groups at risk of opaque and unfair automated decisions that replicate inherent biases in the data.

The UK Data Use and Access Bill strips away your right to not be subjected to life-changing decisions made solely by AI, apart from where special category data is used.
But, as the letter says, "there are many contexts in which non-special category personal data acts as a proxy for protected characteristics."

Currently you have the right for a person to review automated decisions if you think there's been an error.
But computers can and do make mistakes... Are we destined to repeat the mistakes of the Post Office Horizon scandal?
We mustn't weaken rights over AI in the Data Use and Access Bill (UK).

We brought together 53 experts and civil society groups in an open letter to the UK government. We called on them to scrap proposals that'll strip back the right to human review of solely automated decisions that can have life-changing consequences.
