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.

UK data protection proposals jeopardise adequacy agreement warns EU committee

The Chairman of the European Parliament’s Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) Committee has written to the European Commissioner, Didier Reynders, to warn that the UK’s Data Protection and Digital Information (DPDI) Bill is close to being passed despite its potential to undermine the UK adequacy decisions under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) and Law Enforcement Directive (LED).

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 🏷️

And everything must go!

🟡 Rights: SLASHED.
🟡 Parliamentary scrutiny: SLASHED.

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

If the government has its way, we'll be vulnerable to our data being used against us and less able to do anything about it.

Here's what's wrong with the #DataGrabBill ⬇️

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.

New data powers ‘could allow DWP to snoop on pensioners’ bank accounts’

Culture minister Sir John Whittingdale said the powers would be “focused” on benefit claimants, but MPs were not convinced.

The Independent

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.

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.

⚠️ 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.
