It strikes me that those kind of laws and regulations wouldn't just be upset about people guessing data but that they would demand some kind of responsible certified person was in charge of the data? Like a designated data controller or something? And all this would be their problem.

Comrade Fakename posted:Yeah, it's still UK law. Not exactly. They are no longer need to follow EU-GDPR internally within the UK. They have to follow it while dealing with companies in the EU though. There is UK-GDPR for internal UK companies and such. And seeing how Tories are Tories, this will probably soon change to mean openly selling every bit of UK data to highest bidders.

Comrade Fakename posted:Yeah, it's still UK law. The Data Protection Act was already as strong as or stronger than GDPR - the only real change GDPR bought in was increased enforcement and changes in the territoriality of the law. If we got the Brexit Fairy Wand and made every single transcription of EU law disappear we'd be in exactly the same position (well Facebook would have a very, very slightly easier time selling our data).

Eerily close. The Data Protection Act 1998 was updated to 2018, and 'works in tandem' with the UK-GDPR. Just more people seem to have heard of 'GDPR' so it's handy shorthand.

GDPR certainly seems to have made every company poo poo themselves a bit about compliance, which I don't know if that menas they needed to change complaince or whether they all realized they were technically in breach of the DPA.

Yeah because GDPR brought in potentially company crippling fines basically every company reviewed their procedures and realised they were breaching the DPA.

It's mad the way these arguments always boil down to people being terrified of teenagers. We've got playing fields at the back of our house which the sports club want to build a floodlit artificial hockey field on. I'm 50/50 on the idea and there are reasonable objections because the field is currently a community resource that everyone can use and if they put a hockey pitch on they're going to have to enclose part of it to prevent access, the field attracts a lot of swifts and bats because it's got terrible drainage and is buzzing with midges in the summer, and also any development weakens the covenant that has prevented it getting built on. However all the objections have focused on "what if it attracts anti-social yobs" despite the fact they're talking about limiting access and making it more well lit. People in this country are loving weird.

That's why the common ownership of the property and the universal provision comes before the direct democracy. The oldschool anarchists got that one. Peter Breadman posted:The idea of the people will be to provide bread for all. And while middle-class citizens, and workmen infested with middle-class ideas admire their own rhetoric in the "Talking Shops," and "practical people" are engaged in endless discussions on forms of government, we, the "Utopian dreamers"--we shall have to consider the question of daily bread. Middle class wittering is far from a new symptom.

The sports club only needs a new hockey pitch because the local secondary school stopped then from using theirs. The school is now selling their hockey pitch to a property developer "because the land isn't being used"

So anyone who has some time to spare and likes ordering people around while wearing hi-viz - the RVS has reopened registration for vaccine steward volunteers in quite a big chunk of the country. Between people going back to work narrowing the pool of volunteers and the opening/expansion of sites, a lot of vaccination sites are very short-staffed so if you can spare a morning or afternoon you can make a difference - and, like I say, cosplay as important frontline medical staff for a bit.

Got a question for anyone who's in a union - I'm a fairly new member of Unite and I want to contact the rep for the company I work for to find out what their view is on the new dynamic working policy. On the website it lists a shop steward and an officer, which one should I get in touch with? Also do I need to send them my membership number to prove I am a member?

Either should be acceptable if you're asking about a work policy. You probably won't have to prove you're a member if you're just talking about general work things, you'd have to prove it if you were wanting union support for a grievance.

i think getting good support from a union depends on who you have locally. my union rep was worse than useless. i would have been okay with merely useless, like if she'd just taken notes like she was supposed to but she actually started speaking against me at a meeting we were at because she wanted to ingratiate herself to the managers lol

Pistol_Pete posted:On a related note, there's a similar controvery in Bristol right now. Up on the high ground in Clifton, close to the Avon Gorge, is a gorgeous 18th century shopping street full of pubs, coffee shops and specialist stores. It's one of the gems of Bristol. However, its gorgeousness is somewhat marred by 90% of the street being given over to traffic, with 2 lanes and parking on both sides of the street restricting pedestrians to narrow stretches of pavement less than 4 feet wide.

Yeah, that 1960's generation, "We must drive EVERYWHERE!!!" type are always very vocal but only really make up a minority. Most people support pedestrianisation, low traffic neighbourhoods etc.
