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.

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 🔥

👋

#dataprotection #privacy #GDPR #ukpolitics

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.
