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.

🚫 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 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 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.

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The Netherlands benefits scandal saw thousands being unjustly accused of fraud and having their benefits incorrectly withdrawn after errors in data sharing and automated decision-making.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