#datagrabbill — Public Fediverse posts

The #DataGrabBill lets UK government Ministers approve international data transfers, even if the country lacks data protection rights or remedies for data subjects.

This will make the UK data laundering hub, putting the UK's adequacy agreement with the EU at risk.

Over 1.8K supporters have backed our ongoing campaign to stop the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill, aka the #DataGrabBill.

"The proposed #DPDIBill appears to be moving towards deregulating vital safeguards that were painstakingly established to secure individuals’ data.”

🏷️ It’s a Privacy Fash Sale 🏷️

The government is offering welfare surveillance to every benefit claimant, whether you like it or not!

The government will have "the right to inspect the bank account of anyone who claims a state pension."

Welfare surveillance powers slipped into the Data Protection and Digital Information are so broadly drawn that they'll let the Department for Work and Pensions surveil the finances of all benefit claimants, including Child Benefit and the State Pension.

The enemy is within 🕵️‍♂️

An authoritarian government grants itself powers to spy on the bank accounts of all benefit claimants. Even the pensioners.

A gripping abuse of power in a Parliament near you NOW.

Don’t miss your chance to stop it.

There are 12.6 million people on the State Pension... suspicious.

Or so the government thinks. That's why they're seizing welfare surveillance powers in the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill.

Whoever claims a benefit, including the State Pension, could have their bank account frisked.

➡️ Say no: https://action.openrightsgroup.org/hands-off-our-data

Laws that protect our personal data from abuse are being dissolved.

With the government sneaking in welfare surveillance powers to grab the data of people claiming benefits, our embattled right to privacy needs defending.

State Pensions. You pay in all your life to claim this benefit.

But where one hand gives, the other takes away your rights.

Welfare surveillance powers in the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill let the government spy on the financial details of benefit claimants.

⚠️ ACT NOW: https://action.openrightsgroup.org/hands-off-our-data

#HandsOffOurData #DataGrabBill #DPDIBill #dataprotection #privacy #surveillance #WelfareSurveillance #ukpolitics #spoof

⚠️ Welfare surveillance has been shoved into the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill ⚠️

The Department for Work and Pensions will have powers to force banks to hand over financial data belonging to benefit claimants.

This data could be misinterpreted and benefit sanctions imposed incorrectly.

Stop it now: https://action.openrightsgroup.org/hands-off-our-data

The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill is a scandal in the making.

New #WelfareSurveillance powers could lead to the most vulnerable people wrongly facing accusations of fraud or having benefits removed unjustly.

This attack on privacy will impact people living with a disability, carers, families with children and people on the State Pension.

Move fast and break rights.

That’s what you get with powers in the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill.

Welfare surveillance is an exciting opportunity to spy on the bank accounts of benefit claimants, including the State Pension.

In combination with weakened protections against faulty automated decision-making and curtailed rights to access our data, welfare surveillance powers in the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill are an injustice waiting to happen.

As AI is trained on data, any inaccurate data means automated systems will continue to make mistakes and biases become embedded.

As the Department for Work and Pensions isn't being transparent over its automated systems while expanding its use, there are real concerns of injustice.

If you don’t know what data is being held about you, it’s harder to challenge decisions or correct mistakes that are driving unjust outcomes.

But even if we can get access, the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill lets organisations refuse requests to erase or correct data if they lack resources to do so.

#HandsOffOurData #DataGrabBill #DPDIBill #dataprotection #privacy #surveillance #ukpolitics #WelfareSurveillance #pensions

While we can appeal automated decisions, it’s of little use without access or resources to scrutinise and challenge how an AI system works.

This is made even worse by changes in the #DPDIBill that make it easier for organisations to refuse to comply with Subject Access Requests.

#HandsOffOurData #DataGrabBill #DPDIBill #dataprotection #privacy #surveillance #ukpolitics #WelfareSurveillance #pensions

The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill weakens protections against solely automated decisions that have life-changing or significant impacts.

This will increase the risk of harms.

Indeed the DWP is already being criticised for its use of AI, despite warnings of algorithmic bias.

The new welfare surveillance powers in the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill sow the seeds of a similar benefits scandal.

The likelihood is compounded by other rights-busting measures in the #DPDIBill:

🔴 Weaker controls on automated decision-making.

🔴 Limits on our ability to find out what data an organisation holds about us.

#HandsOffOurData #DataGrabBill #DPDIBill #dataprotection #privacy #surveillance #ukpolitics #WelfareSurveillance #pensions

Welfare surveillance has been done before.

It didn't end well.

The Netherlands benefits scandal saw thousands being unjustly accused of fraud and having their benefits incorrectly withdrawn after errors in data sharing and automated decision-making.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/14/dutch-government-faces-collapse-over-child-benefits-scandal

Welfare surveillance powers have been smuggled into the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill.

The Department for Work and Pensions will be able to access the financial information of any benefit claimant – from Universal Credit to Child Benefit and the State Pension.

Here's why it's an injustice waiting to happen ⬇️

For the limited time of the rest of your life, the State Pension comes privacy-free!

So relax safe in the knowledge that the government can spy on your bank account.

Say yes to welfare surveillance!

Or don’t. It makes no difference.

✊ Data rights are worker’s rights.

#GDPR was used by Uber drivers to take on unfair ‘robo-firing’. Workers used subject access requests to show the #facialrecognition system was discriminatory.

They challenged dismissals under article 22 GDPR – the right to not be subject to automated decisions with life-changing impacts without review.

The #DataGrabBill makes it harder for workers to resist this practice.
