Data hungry gov’t vows to eyeball data offences in woolly digital pledge | Ars Technica UK

Data hungry gov’t vows to eyeball data offences in woolly digital pledge | Ars Technica UK: "Digital minister Matt Hancock has previously said that the government would implement the GDPR "in full"—a vow repeated in the DCMS' digital strategy, which highlights concerns about the transfer of data between the UK and European Union once Brexit kicks in.

"As part of our plans for the UK’s exit from the EU, we will be seeking to ensure that data flows remain uninterrupted, and will be considering all the available options that will provide legal certainty for businesses and individuals alike," it said.

 Britain's data watchdog, the Information Commissioner's Office, told Ars that the DCMS was leading a review of data protection offences. It declined to comment, however, on how such a review might affect the controversial Part 5 of the Digital Economy Bill." 'via Blog this'
