        A data regulator that fails to deter bad practices isn't worth having.

        They've allowed a light touch regime for data protection that increases breaches.

        The ICO shrugged when presented with issues in the UK Home Office's eVisa scheme by ORG and civil society.

          Data is your digital DNA 🧬

          It reveals who you are. That’s why companies, government bodies and criminals want access to it.

          Whether it’s to stop profiteering, surveillance or fraud, data protection is the answer.

          But the UK data regulator isn't enforcing the law.

            A slap on the wrist isn't a deterrent.

            The ICO even refused to investigate the Ministry of Defence for the most serious data breach in UK history.

            This was the final straw, leading to ORG calling for an inquiry with over 70 groups and experts.

              The UK Information Commissioner's Office has failed for too long.

              Enforcement action has fallen away under its 'public sector approach', where the regulator has heavily relied on non-enforceable reprimands.

              Without bringing law-breakers to account, our data rights are weakened.

                That’s what data protection is about.

Text: 5 steps to an effective ICO.
Be accountable – Give people the right to appeal.
Put the public first – Make its primary responsibility to enforce the law, investigate and remedy infringements.
Be independent – Make sure it's protected from government interference.
End corruption – Stop the revolving door between the regulator and Big Tech.
Let public interest organisations represent the public – Groups like ORG should be able to bring challenges.

                    In their post, the maintainer stated they did not intend to create a new account. They cited lack of interest in combating CloudFlare, the account only having 7 followers, and no Mastodon server being "willing to host a single account".

                    The maintainer(s) had previously notified users the account might be shutdown due to a user report; however, this seems to be a different unrelated report.
