The passing of the UK Data Bill is also a blow for democratic procedures in the UK, as we warned in our open letter signed by civil society groups and experts.

Government Ministers can now change the way our data is shared with minimal Parliamentary scrutiny.

With the passing of the UK Data Bill, people are now in less control over how algorithms and AI make important decisions that affect their lives.

This was rejected, meaning it's harder to object when things go wrong.

This reduces accountability at a time when the police should be reassuring the public.

While the public debate has focussed on the impact of AI on the creative industries, the Data Bill is harmful for everyone in the UK.

ORG will continue to fight for strong data protection because #DigitalRightsAreHumanRights.
