Eighteen months into a Labour government and still no media reform policy. The Prime Minister should honour his promise to meet the victims of illegal press activity. There was a corporate cover up and further crimes remain uninvestigated.

.@iconews is failing to respond to c 90% of UK #GDPR complaints within 90 days, up from c 10% just 1 year ago & far above 20% required by its own Charter measure. It repeats today a claim it triages cases despite contrary FOI response live on website: ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/med…

This BBC highlights ongoing failure of platforms to tackle online abuse bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y9…. So why did @iconews remove their policy on platform responsibility and why does its site still say it does link to this & even promise #GDPR update 7yrs on? ico.org.uk/for-the-public/on…

.@iconews "has a poor record on enforcement; it has been reluctant to issue fines ... It has also been accused of being too slow with its investigations." Lord Clement Jones @LibDemLords on UK #GDPR concerns at Report of #dataprotection Bill. Well said 🥳hansard.parliament.uk/lords/…

Congratulations🥳to Baroness Kidron, originator of the #dataprotection #children's code, for calling out @iconews' "poor" UK #GDPR enforcement record & many demands for @UKParliament to require more: hansard.parliament.uk/lords/… For latest developments see xitter.cf/DavidErdos/status/1882…
.@iconews said to @UKParliament it "delivered 5 prosecutions & 5 cautions" in 2023-24 & described 2 court disposals from June (& Sept) Very low! But new #FOI response shows only 3 cautions, 3 prosecutions & no June prosecution in period. What explains 40% difference? UK #GDPR 1/5

The editors of the Sun between 1996 and 2011, when "unlawful activities" happened, included Rebekah Brooks (2003-09) and Dominic Mohan (2009-2013). Brooks is still CEO of News UK. Will @ipso@IpsoNews look into this? Inadvisable to hold your breath.

Apart from the defamatory inference created by use of the wrong photos, the use of the 'lifted' selfies was, as the blog implies, breach of copyright. However, the tabloid approach to such copyright breach can be to 'use first', settle afterwards'

The Data Bill is in @UKHouseofLords today – peers must defend our data rights!
“The government needs to explain why it wants to actively remove accountability measures for accessing public data while at the same time removing other safeguards and protections."

Sometimes when I go to events my wife comes with me. If the @MailOnline get hold of pictures they put it on their website and hundreds of comments tear my wife to pieces. She’s never thrust herself forward or courted attention in any way. I don’t know if the comments are real or written by the mail. Or by bots. But I do know it’s cyber bullying. And mysoginist. And I think it may be in some way the business model of the @MailOnline . Monetising unkindness.
