The live stream of our briefing on the Data use and Access Bill is now live on You Tube at - https://youtube.com/live/EHIXGz9KGzM #HandsOffOurData #DataGrab #GDPR #DUABill #DPDIBill #dataprotection #privacy #ukpolitics

Data protection can defend us against harmful AI practices.
BUT the Data Use and Access Bill (UK) weakens our rights and gives companies and organisations more powers to use automated decisions.
This is of particular concern in policing, welfare and immigration where life-changing decisions could be made without human review.
The new Bill reheats the mistakes of the failed #DPDIBill.

Is privacy back on the chopping block in the UK? 🤔
A Digital Information and Smart Data Bill has been announced with a narrower scope around #dataprotection reform.
We warn against reintroducing elements of the disastrous #DPDIBill – from liberalising data sharing to threatening the data watchdog and the UK-EU adequacy agreement.
We need socially responsible innovation within limits... strong data protection in other words.

Whatever the UK #GeneralElection brings, ORG will fight for our digital rights in a fast-moving and hostile political environment.
The defeat of the #DPDIBill shows what we can achieve together 🦾

Fire up the shredders for the #DPDIBill ☠️
It’s so long, see you never 🤞 for this flawed legislation that would’ve removed controls over our data and handed power to UK government bodies and companies.
ORG and civil society organisations fought the Bill to ensure it wasn’t just nodded into law 🔥
👋
-
@openrightsgroup I’m informed the #DPDIBill is dead. It didn’t make it in the parliamentary ‘wash-up’ process.
I’m overjoyed. Good riddance.
-
The #DPDIBill (UK) must not be rushed through in the last days of this Parliament.
This Bill will impact privacy rights of everyone in the UK and parliamentarians should have sufficient time to scrutinise it.
Tell your MP to block the Bill.

“The DPDI Bill will take away some of the control we have over our data and hand more power to government bodies and companies.
The British people deserve there to be proper parliamentary scrutiny of laws that could have a huge impact on our lives."
🗣️ @jim – ORG Exec Director.

The #DPDIBIll will:
🔴 Put the UK's adequacy agreement with the EU at risk.
🔴 Expose millions to welfare surveillance over their bank accounts.
🔴 Weaken the data protection watchdog.
🔴 Make it harder to access our data.
🔴 Make it easier for data to be reused and shared.
-
ORG calls on the UK government to SCRAP the controversial #Data Protection and Digital Information Bill now that they've called a #GeneralElection for 4 July.
A Bill that batters our data rights shouldn't be rammed through last minute, bypassing the remaining stages of Parliamentary scrutiny.
-
Hot mics at the ready, it’s UK election time 🗳️
ORG calls on all parties to respect digital rights 🦾
They can start by ditching the flawed #DPDIBill and not rush it through in the dying gasps of this Parliament 🗑️
We'll publish our manifesto soon 👀

🚫 Stop welfare surveillance 🚫
Today ORG joined Big Brother Watch, 38degrees, Organise and other groups to deliver a 270,000+ strong petition to 10 Downing Street.
We say NO to powers in the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill that’ll let the UK government spy on the bank accounts of ANY benefit claimant.

-
The #DPDIBill will make it easier for the UK government to turn private companies into informants through new legal grounds for data sharing and Ministerial powers to expand these purposes.
The government's disrespect of data rights is underpinned by the weak enforcement approach of the Information Commissioner's Office.
Public shaming, rather than legally binding enforcement actions and penalties, makes it possible to ignore data protection laws.
-
So the dangers still remain.
Through the #DPDIBill, the UK government will reintroduce barriers for migrants to access data, as intended by the Immigration Exemption.
Subject access requests are fundamental for migrants and us all to engage with and challenge decisions that affect people's lives.
The #DPDIBill turns the tables by making it easier to refuse these requests.
Join our campaign to stop the Bill.
-
The Immigration Exemption aims to let the UK Home Office and companies refuse requests for personal data because it might 'prejudice the maintenance of effective immigration control'.
We've fought against this exceptionalism in data protection, but the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill could undo it all.
🗣️ @sarahalsherif ORG Programme Manager for Migrant Digital Justice.

Changes in the UK Data Protection and Digital Information Bill will exacerbate the existing power imbalances that migrants, refugees and asylum seekers have over their data.
This will lead to significant harms and an expansion of the #DigitalHostileEnvironment.

The #DPDIBill is a reckless gamble with the UK economy by putting at risk the EU adequacy agreement. Is it worth it?
Tell your MP (UK) that they need to stop the Bill in its tracks.

"The concerns of the LIBE committee highlights how the data rights of people in the UK will be reduced compared to people living in Europe. This should not be acceptable to our parliamentarians.”
🗣️ @marianods, ORG Legal and Policy Officer.
#EU #dataprotection #data #privacy #ukpolitics #DPDIBill #GDPR -
The EU adequacy agreement requires the UK to have equivalent protections over personal data for there to be a free flow of data.
The #DPDIBill tramples over that regime, leading to a disruption of trade and research.
UK businesses could face £1-1.6 billion in legal fees alone.

The EU LIBE Committee raises key concerns with the UK Data Protection and Digital Information Bill:
🔴 Changes to the definition of personal data.
🔴 Threats to the independence of the Information Commissioner's Office and scrapping the Biometrics and Surveillance Camera Commissioner.
🔴 International data transfers that would bypass EU rules.

Weakening data protection law comes at a cost.
The European Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs has issued a new warning that the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill puts the UK's adequacy agreement with the EU in question.
A move that would take chunks out of the UK economy and our data rights.

The scope for unchecked data use and sharing under the UK #DPDIBill will infringe on rights and increase existing power imbalances in the #DigitalHostileEnvironment.

Recently the UK government directed the NHS to store Home Office reference numbers on migrants’ health records.
Linking health data to immigration status puts in place a monitoring system that can be weaponised through weaker data protection laws being ushered in by the #DPDIBill.
-
The UK Home Office’s #DigitalHostileEnvironment was revealed by the Investigatory Powers Commissioner's Office in a policy to unlawfully confiscate and extract data from migrant’s mobile phones.
The #DPDIBill will weaken the ability to challenge such abusive practices.

-
The UK #DPDIBill will worsen the intrusive surveillance on migrants.
Under Operation Innerste, the biometric data of 2,400 unaccompanied child asylum seekers was collected by the police, held for at least five years and shared with immigration enforcement for use in asylum decisions.
-
The UK #DPDIBill will:
🔴 Introduce a legal ground for public and private bodies to share information for national security and public safety, including immigration enforcement or border security.
🔴 Remove the need to carry out a ‘balancing test’ to weigh the interests and impact of data processing on individuals.
-
Surveillance measures in the #DigitalHostileEnvironment will intensify if the UK Data Protection and Digital Information Bill succeeds in weakening data rights.
Yet the majority of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers we surveyed with Positive Action in Housing haven’t heard about the Bill.
Here's why it's a problem 🧵
-
Data allows election campaigns to deliver micro-targeted messaging with the power to manipulate public opinion.
The #DPDIBill will make it easier for political parties to use our data and introduces a wide basis to process data for “democratic engagement” purposes.
Despite the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the government wants to lower accountability just as a UK general election looms.

The battle to protect our data rights continues as the #DPDIBill returns to the UK House of Lords today.
Our amendments to strengthen the Information Commissioner's Office are on the table. We need a strong, independent and effective data regulator to ensure our rights are enforced.

Welfare surveillance powers are being introduced by the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill.
The UK government will be able to access the financial data of ANY benefit claimant. This data could be misinterpreted and sanctions imposed incorrectly.
We've signed this joint letter from UK civil society organisations for the removal of these powers from the Bill.

The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill (UK) 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.
#dataprotection #DPDIBill #GDPR #HandsOffOurData #WelfareSurveillance #ukpolitics
-
The new welfare surveillance powers sow the seeds of a similar benefits scandal.
The likelihood is compounded by other rights-busting measures in the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill (UK):
🔴 Weaker controls on automated decision-making.
🔴 Limits on our ability to find out what data is held about us.

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.

The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill is back at Committee Stage in the UK House of Lords.
Welfare surveillance powers in the Bill are an injustice waiting to happen.
The Department for Work and Pensions (UK) will be able to access the financial information of any benefit claimant – from Universal Credit to Child Benefit and State Pensions.
Here's why it's wrong ⬇️

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.

The LIBE committee of the European Parliament has written to the Commission with concerns that the UK’s new data protection bill will impact on the U.K. This is a big intervention from the European Parliament around the UKs plans to water down data rights https://www.openrightsgroup.org/publications/8-march-2024-letter-to-commissioner-reynders-from-libe-committee-chair-dpdi-bill/ #DataProtecion #privacy #EU #DPDIBill

Real-world harms happen when data gets abused, so we need an independent regulator to guarantee strong protections and offer redress when things go wrong.
That’s why we’re fighting powers in the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill that’ll weaken the Information Commissioner's Office in the UK.
