People’s rights – not government control or corporate profits – should be the basis of data protection law.
But the UK government wants to tip the scales to use our data against us.

In a last ditch effort to make the #DataGrabBill even worse, the government slipped in welfare surveillance powers without scrutiny.
Exposing the financial data of all benefit claimants to the DWP is an outlandish abuse of power – something the ICO says isn't proportionate.
The #DataGrabBill gives Ministers the discretion to approve international data transfers, even if the country lacks data protection rights or remedies for data subjects.
This will make the UK a hub for data laundering, putting the UK's adequacy agreement with the EU at risk.
The #DataGrabBill contains powers for the government to extend its reach into more of our data for ‘legitimate use’.
Ministers will be able to expand the list of ways that data can be used, reused and shared without parliamentary oversight or public debate.
The #DataGrabBill weakens protections against being subjected to solely automated decision-making where there are life-changing or significant impacts.
This will result in an influx of algorithmic injustice from coded biases.
Marginalised communities will be affected the most.
If the government has its way, we'll be vulnerable to our data being used against us and less able to do anything about it.
Here's what's wrong with the #DataGrabBill ⬇️

@UKHouseofLords "It’s basically the government choosing big business and shady technology companies over the interests of everyday people.”

@WorkerInfoX Strong data protection laws redress the imbalance in power relationships, whether worker and employer, citizen and State, or consumer and corporation.
The #DataGrabBill puts the thumb on the scale against us.

GDPR has been used in employment disputes “to bridge the gaps in employment law... because these workers have no other recourse” according to @WorkerInfoX.
The #DataGrabBill weakens key protections that workers have relied on to challenge abusive employers.

The #DataGrabBill will make it more difficult to contest or refuse to be subject to automated decisions.
This is in the face of warnings about the growth of AI into management by algorithm through increased employee surveillance.

The #DataGrabBill will make it easier for employers to collect and use personal data, opening a route for more intrusive employee monitoring hooked up to automated decision-making.

Protections against automated decision-making are gutted in #DataGrabBill.
Add to that the ability to charge fees or refuse access to data for evidence gathering because a request it’s ‘too onerous’.
This will deny workers’ recourse against robo-firing.

✊ Data rights are worker’s rights.
GDPR has been used by drivers to take on unfair dismissals by Uber’s algorithms, known as ‘robo-firing’.
The #DataGrabBill will make it harder for workers to resist this harmful practice.

“For the labour movement, digital rights have never been so important.”
ORG’s @ds_m4riano explains how the #DataGrabBill will undermine rights over personal data and expose workers to abusive practices.

GDPR provides recourse for unfair or discriminatory use of data.
The #DataGrabBill will make it more difficult to access data or contest automated decisions, meaning unfair practices could go unchallenged.

Automated systems have seen discriminatory algorithms rejecting job applications due to foreign names or mentioning a women’s college.
Instead of tackling discrimination, the #DataGrabBill expands the use of solely automated decisions.

Automated decision-making means racialised communities will experience greater discrimination from algorithmic bias, as seen in recruitment.
The #DataGrabBill will hinder our recourse against unfair and discriminatory uses of our data.

Data protection is a "critical line of defense against government overreach and the continued weaponisation of technology against racialised and migrant communities."

As biased algorithms are increasingly used to make decisions, data protection is essential to protect the rights of marginalised groups, including migrants, LGBTQ people and racialised communities.
