The privacy of the public is abused by just about every website you visit. Laws state that websites cannot set cookies without permission but many of them still do.
And the ICO, paid for out of public money to protect us, are recommending that the laws be relaxed.
If you can't make people reach the target, lower the bar so they can!!
Online advertising is a key component of the UK’s digital economy, helping to fund content, services and innovation across the web. At the same time, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) play an important role in safeguarding people’s rights and freedoms when they use online services.
Sign the petition! The ICO is failing us. It's time for a reset. Time and time again, the ICO has failed to protect our data rights. They failed to formally investigate the Ministry of Defence over the leak of a spreadsheet detailing 19,000 people who were fleeing the Talibans – the worst data breach in UK history. They ignored thousands of complaints from the public and allowed Meta to press ahead with plans to scrape its users data. They ignored ORG and 70 other organisations who raised concerns about serious data breaches arising from the Home Office’s e-visa scheme.
"The ICO has consistently failed the rights it is supposed to uphold. Here are just some recent examples.
When Reform ran a competition that blatantly broke data protection law, the ICO's response was staggering: it told the public to complain to Reform first, then come back to the ICO if they were still unhappy.
...
When Meta announced plans to scrape its users' data to train AI, thousands of people complained to the ICO. Their response was to hold meetings with Meta behind closed doors before giving them the go ahead. The public were ignored.
They have also ignored the 70 plus organisations calling for the ICO to investigate the Home Office's eVisa scheme, which triggered serious data protection breaches and locked vulnerable people out of their own immigration records.
This isn't an regulator having a bad year. This is an regulator that has stopped doing its job."

@openrightsgroup In my experience, this lines up with how the #ICO handles pretty much everything:
1. They are not interested unless you have already complained to the DPO;
2. If you have complained, the most they will do is write a strongly worded letter.
3. If they get no response from the DPO, they give up and refuse to take it any further.
If you're breaking #GDPR the best thing you can do is just ignore the ICO, because they will give up if they can't figure out how to communicate with you
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 🤷♂️

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.

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.
