PrivacyDigest@eff , Civil Society Groups, Academics Call on #UK Home Secretary to Address Flawed Data Bill

Daragh Ó Briain@Tupp_ed Is this the same Coimisiún that, in their consultation on their Code of Practice, proposed dealing with the processing of personal data for direct marketing to children, even though that’s explicitly legislated for in Section 30 of the #DataProtectionAct (but not yet commenced)?
Laura Sykes #Greeneralia#PrinceHarry accuses 'the yellow press' of obtaining information 'illegally'.
Under the #DataProtectionAct of 1994 there is " a defence, which is available to anyone who shows that obtaining, disclosing or procuring the information was in the public interest. The public interest defence has never been tested in court."
Written in 2011 re the Gordon Brown case, this is worth reading in the current context.
Of #PublicInterest - undoubtedly.
In the public interest - debatable?

Without a #DataProtectionAct there is no robust legal framework yet. Requesting ID/Passport nos still identifies us in what shld be an anonymous and confidential exercise.
