Data Act published for public consultation
The Commission has now published the Data Act (and the Chips Act) for public consultation – Deadline is 9 May 2022.
This initiative, known as the ‘Data Act’, aims to facilitate access to and use of data, including business-to business and business-to-government, and to review the rules on the legal protection of databases. It seeks the right balance between rights to access data and incentives to invest in data, without changing the current data protection rules.
All interested in writing a response are welcome to join a MyData statement! #data-act

South Wales Police Return With New Facial Recognition System Following Legal Defeat
The South Wales Police department is preparing to resume its use of live facial recognition technology. The department first started trialing face-based surveillance tech in 2017, but pulled back in 2020 after the British Court of Appeal ruled that the South Wales system violated human rights laws on several fronts.
However, that has not deterred the South Wales Police. The department is essentially viewing its defeat as part of the learning process, and claims that it has been able to use the Court’s feedback to develop a surveillance system that will meet a stricter legal standard. #facial-recognition #public-safety #uk
