"Follow[ing] several serious, high-profile data breaches that undermined public trust in government, some of which also placed lives at risk", the UK's independent data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office, is taking enforcement action against the UK government.
Only kidding.
It has signed a Memorandum of Understanding, which imposes no legal obligations.
@neil Wait... there was public trust in government to undermine?!
@neil Well, the UK ICO has always been weak, and has become even weaker, raising no concerns about the merging and sharing of different data sources that were originally supposed to have been kept separate.
@neil Damn it, you actually had me for a moment. I shouldn't read your posts before morning caffiene!
@neil
Clearly the ICO need to learn the definition of “accountability” because I don’t think they know what it actually means. Maybe someone should send a copy of the Oxford English Dictionary for their reference
@neil clearly someone needs to teach the ICO what “accountability”means cause I don’t think the ICO knows what it means. Bring a copy of the Oxford English Dictionary with them
