Pleased to post a new working paper on C-199/24 Legal Newsdesk: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.… This case explored the #GDPR position of Lexbase which, in return for payment, provides criminal & court judgment info from searches of those who had been subject to conviction in #Sweden 1/6

On back of MPs letter about #TattleLife @iconews said it was investigating. But how can it regulate #onlineabuse when it failed to update its policy guidance for #GDPR despite saying it would do so for +5 yrs, then deleted this & now says it holds no info? inforrm.org/2026/03/31/erase…

.@iconews new policy to just "record" many UK #GDPR complaints is at serious odds with a @PHSOmbudsman ruling from 11/2025 which held complainants had a right to "an assessment under s. 165 of the DPA as to whether it is likely or unlikely that the processing" was lawful. 1/3

Lamentable that @iconews will now refuse to investigate as opposed to "log" many (perhaps most) UK #GDPR complaints despite law stating that it must “investigate, to the extent, appropriate” & inform on “the outcome of the investigation” (art. 51(1)(f)). ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/…🧵

The final straw – the @ICOnews has decided NOT to investigate the Afghan data leak.
It's time to investigate them!
Over 70 organisations and experts back ORG's call for an inquiry into the regulator's chronic failure to enforce data laws.

New blog on @iconews' plan to reject investigation of many #DataProtection complaints, an💡inconsistent with its obligation to inform all complainants of an investigation outcome & liable to fuel further disregard for the UK #GDPR especially among SMEs: inforrm.org/2025/10/28/cause…

John Edwards @CommonsSITC evidence suggests Government misuse of Excel was new to @iconews around time of grave #Afghan #databreach. But in fact +10 years before ICO came across just such #dataprotection violation involving asylum seekers & took no action: 5rb.com/case/tlt-v-secretary…

Invoking "economic growth" & the vaguest of claims about #AdTech @iconews plans to explicitly “enable” UK #GDPR non-compliant business models. Even partial Responses (by 7 Sept 25) pushing back on this erosion of rights & democratic processes would be good ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/ico…

This sadly shows ongoing departure from "strong enforcement" promised by #GDPR. Just 2 #dataprotection fines (cf +200 in #Germany & #Spain), no enforcement notices & only 9 reprimands (a ↓70% on 23-24). Complaints response in 90 day time ↓ from 84.8→30%
