Anyway from Lord Holmes concluding remarks, I suspect Labur is putting as always their head in the sand, and is not willing to change the Computer Misuse Act at this time

Clement-Jones also raises the issue of Police's reliance on hyperscale cloud providers, and the impact of this on UK technological sovereignty. He summarises issues that have been thoroughly developed by Sebastian Klovig Skelton for Computer Weekly, and which I have been commenting upon quite regularly. See for instance https://www.computerweekly.com/news/366615434/Police-cloud-project-raises-data-protection-concerns-despite-legal-reforms

Clement-Jones also raises the issue of the UK GDPR anchorage on the European Convention of Human Rights which, contrary to the EU Charter, protects the life of private life primariy against state interferences vs. private sector interferences

This is the second live toothing I'm doing. Follow the link below if you want to have a look at what the Lords discussed beforehand https://mastodon.bida.im/@marianods/113629566337538358

@openrightsgroup Clement-Jones now touches upon Clause 74, which would allow the Govt to change the definition of sensitive data, which provides additional restriction to the use of data that are more prone to discrimination and harms. Clement-Jones raises particular concerns about the possibility that health data use be legalised via these instruments

@openrightsgroup Reducing transpraency requirements and exempting organisations from informing individuals when it constitutes a disproportionate effort would also allow AI companies to scrape data across the Internet with little transparency, and generally contradict the position that most stakeholders and arms-length govt inclusing the data guardian and the ICO have expressed on the need of more, not less, transparency, argues Clement-Jones (LIBDEM)

Well well well. At 5pm, I'll start live tooting the Lords' debate on the Data Access and Use Bill. The debate is being streamed live at this address https://parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/e08ec3a6-d052-4518-aafb-6d43cd65b21f
