Comment on Data Bill: First They Came for Trans People

Armand1@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

TL;DR:

This bill’s proposed amendment NC21 would out trans people. It was rejected by the MPs, but the House of Lords have effectively appealed this.

However, the article claims that even if this amendment isn’t in there, the bill itself is dangerous, allowing the government to reintroduce these effects even without the amendments, by allowing itself to define how and what data needs to be shared by verification providers.

It would do so at its own discretion, without further legislative scrutiny.
