The Science, Innovation and Technology Select Committee must ensure data protection is taken seriously by the UK Home Office and upheld by the ICO.
With the position of Information Commissioner now vacant, MPs must push government to deliver a regulator with teeth.

Reset the ICO -
A regulator that fails to deter bad practices isn't worth having.
The ICO has allowed a light touch regime for data protection that increases breaches.
ORG has set out how we must #ResetTheICO so that it enforces our data rights.

John Edwards has overseen multiple failings, including the so-called public sector approach to enforcement.
This relied on non-enforceable written notices that the law had been broken without any regulatory action to remedy infringements or hold law-breakers to account.

A law only works if it's enforced. Yet time and time again, the ICO has failed to protect our data rights. Our privacy relies on a regulator that will take action against the government and private sector at a time of escalating threats. We need to #ResetTheICO. Sign and share the petition ⬇️

"John Edwards' departure is a chance for the [UK] Government to appoint a regulator with teeth, and reset the regulators' approach of providing data protection in name only."
"Parliament must ensure that the future Commission is run by professionals who want the law enforced, including against government data failures."

The head of the UK data regulator has GONE!
Politicians should take this opportunity to fix an organisation that has failed to enforce our data protection laws and rights for years.
This isn't just about changing the person at the top, the Information Commissioner's Office needs to be fundamentally reset.

Data is your digital DNA 🧬
It reveals who you are. That’s why companies, government bodies and criminals want access to it.
Whether it’s to stop profiteering, surveillance or fraud, data protection is the answer.
But the UK data regulator isn't enforcing the law.

Calls for the ICO to investigate the eVisa scheme have gone unheard.
ORG flagged that the Home Office failed to assess the risks of a digital-only scheme, exposing migrants to data errors and technical failures that impact their immigration status.
Rights fall apart without an effective regulator.

This isn't a regulator having a bad year. The ICO has stopped doing its job.
Behind all these scandals, real people are suffering real harms with no support.
That's why we need a fundamental reset of the ICO that puts our rights first.

The ICO's 'public sector' approach gives organisations the go ahead to carry on with bad practices, knowing they'll be let off the hook.
They issued a weak reprimand to the Post Office for publishing the identities of Horizon’s victims, adding insult to injury for the victims of this scandal.

The ICO again fumbled the ball when Reform UK launched its data harvesting expedition masked as a 'competition'.
There was a clear breach of transparency obligations under data protection law.
And yet, the regulator just told people to complain to Reform and come back if they were unhappy 🤷♂️

The UK data watchdog is all bark, no bite.
From failing to investigate complaints to forgoing regulatory action in favour of a slap on the wrist, the ICO isn't doing its job.
It's time that the regulator is overhauled, because data protection laws only work if they're enforced.

Even faced with the worst data breach in UK history, the ICO refused to investigate the Ministry of Defence for a leak of data on 19,000 Afghans fleeing the Taliban.
That's why over 70 groups and experts joined ORG's demand for an inquiry into the regulator over its use of non-binding reprimands.
