The #DPDIBill (UK) must not be rushed through in the last days of this Parliament.
This Bill will impact privacy rights of everyone in the UK and parliamentarians should have sufficient time to scrutinise it.
Tell your MP to block the Bill.

Stop welfare surveillance
Today ORG joined Big Brother Watch, 38degrees, Organise and other groups to deliver a 270,000+ strong petition to 10 Downing Street.
We say NO to powers in the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill that’ll let the UK government spy on the bank accounts of ANY benefit claimant.
The #DPDIBill is a reckless gamble with the UK economy by putting at risk the EU adequacy agreement. Is it worth it?
Tell your MP (UK) that they need to stop the Bill in its tracks.

The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill (UK) weakens protections against solely automated decisions that have life-changing or significant impacts. This will increase the risk of harms.
Indeed the DWP is already being criticised for its use of AI, despite warnings of algorithmic bias.

The new welfare surveillance powers sow the seeds of a similar benefits scandal.
The likelihood is compounded by other rights-busting measures in the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill (UK):
Weaker controls on automated decision-making.
Limits on our ability to find out what data is held about us.
Welfare surveillance has been done before.
It didn't end well.
The Netherlands benefits scandal saw thousands being unjustly accused of fraud and having their benefits incorrectly withdrawn after errors in data sharing and automated decision-making.

The Data Protection and Digital Information Bill is back at Committee Stage in the UK House of Lords.
Welfare surveillance powers in the Bill are an injustice waiting to happen.
The Department for Work and Pensions (UK) will be able to access the financial information of any benefit claimant – from Universal Credit to Child Benefit and State Pensions.
Here's why it's wrong

The Government has and will keep denying that there are any issues but, as we know, they cannot be trusted. @openrightsgroup will keep engaging with the Lords to avoid this annouced car crash. If you want to support us, join our #HandsOffOurData campaign https://action.openrightsgroup.org/hands-off-our-data
Data shapes our lives in invisible ways. That’s why data protection is an essential defence from data brokers, State agencies and hackers.
But the UK #DPDIBill trades away our data rights to aid surveillance and profiteering.

Over 1.8K supporters have backed our ongoing campaign to stop the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill, aka the #DataGrabBill.
"The proposed #DPDIBill appears to be moving towards deregulating vital safeguards that were painstakingly established to secure individuals’ data.”

It’s a Privacy Fash Sale
And everything must go!
Rights: SLASHED.
Parliamentary scrutiny: SLASHED.
The government is offering welfare surveillance to every benefit claimant, whether you like it or not!
Say no, while you still have a chance: https://action.openrightsgroup.org/hands-off-our-data
The creeping use of biometric surveillance is alarming, especially with concerns about its accuracy and efficacy.
The #DPDIBill blasts a hole in what little oversight there is and allows for ever-expanding use.
Join our campaign.
If the government has its way, we'll be vulnerable to our data being used against us and less able to do anything about it.
Here's what's wrong with the #DataGrabBill
Take action: https://action.openrightsgroup.org/hands-off-our-data
The government will have "the right to inspect the bank account of anyone who claims a state pension."
Welfare surveillance powers slipped into the Data Protection and Digital Information are so broadly drawn that they'll let the Department for Work and Pensions surveil the finances of all benefit claimants, including Child Benefit and the State Pension.
The enemy is within
An authoritarian government grants itself powers to spy on the bank accounts of all benefit claimants. Even the pensioners.
A gripping abuse of power in a Parliament near you NOW.
Don’t miss your chance to stop it.
There are 12.6 million people on the State Pension... suspicious.
Or so the government thinks. That's why they're seizing welfare surveillance powers in the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill.
Whoever claims a benefit, including the State Pension, could have their bank account frisked.
Say no: https://action.openrightsgroup.org/hands-off-our-data
Laws that protect our personal data from abuse are being dissolved.
With the government sneaking in welfare surveillance powers to grab the data of people claiming benefits, our embattled right to privacy needs defending.
ACT NOW TO STOP THE #DPDIBILL
State Pensions. You pay in all your life to claim this benefit.
But where one hand gives, the other takes away your rights.
Welfare surveillance powers in the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill let the government spy on the financial details of benefit claimants.
ACT NOW: https://action.openrightsgroup.org/hands-off-our-data
Welfare surveillance has been shoved into the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill
The Department for Work and Pensions will have powers to force banks to hand over financial data belonging to benefit claimants.
This data could be misinterpreted and benefit sanctions imposed incorrectly.
Stop it now: https://action.openrightsgroup.org/hands-off-our-data
