Lacking proper arms-length from the UK government, the ICO hasn't properly supervised public bodies, allowing data malpractices to spread.
This is clear in the failure to take action over the MoD's Afghan data breach, the Home Office's flawed eVisa scheme and HMRC's unjust crackdown on child benefits.

Despite recognising that automated systems expose workers to heightened risks of discrimination and wage-theft, the ICO has taken no enforcement action. The outgoing Commissioner even backed down to let UK data protection reforms gut our right not to be subject to solely automated decision-making. #ico #dataprotection #privacy #gdpr #ukpolitics #ukpol
