The opt-out model is “wholly inadequate to protect our rights: the public cannot be expected to monitor and chase every single online company that decides to use our data to train AI.“

The UK government's new casework database, Atlas, has mismatched people's identities in 70,000 records.The switch to e-Visas at the end of 2024 creates a system where a person's right to be in the UK can glitch out.
Or get turned off by the UK Home Office in real-time as soon as it thinks there might be a reason to do so.
It's a digital Windrush scandal in the making.

The ICO has failed to stand up for the data rights of Meta users in the UK.The ICO has failed to stand up for the data rights of Meta users in the UK.
Ignoring ORG's complaint, they've failed to issue a binding order to stop data from being scraped to train AI.
Making the opt out process simpler is an inadequate response to these intrusive proposals. Rights can only be protected by opt-in consent.

What's the problem? Until recently, migrants from outside the EU had physical documents to prove that they and their families could live, work or study in the UK. These could be physical cards or stamps or stickers in their passports. The Home Office wants to replace these physical documents with e-Visas by the end of December 2024. This will affect four million people in the

Right to work checks move border enforcement into the workplace.Right to work checks move border enforcement into the workplace.
These checks aren't required by law. They simply give employers a statutory excuse against civil penalties.
Migrants' futures are made dependent on error-prone digital services and automated decision-making. People live in fear with little control over their data.
