New blog on @iconews' plan to reject investigation ‍of many #DataProtection complaints, an💡inconsistent with its obligation to inform all complainants of an investigation outcome & liable to fuel further disregard for the UK #GDPR especially among SMEs: inforrm.org/2025/10/28/cau…

Yesterday I visited civic heroes: Adi has been in hospital for weeks after a vicious beating by violent settlers while peacefully protecting Palestinians in the West Bank. I admire her quiet strength and compassion and wish her a full recovery. Her attackers are still at large.

This is a very odd post from a Conservative who says he believes in freedom of expression under law and is a principal spokesman of the Free Speech Union. I appreciate that he does not like Islam and there is no reason why he should. As a Christian it is not my faith. But the use of Trafalgar Square ( with permission) for religious events Christian and other goes back a long way. There have been prayers and hymns, chants and religious events performed there in the past. If such an event 'shouldn't happen again' it raises the question of whether this is to apply to all religious events or just to Muslim ones. If to all, then we are moving like France to imposing secularism as a norm and it is contrary to our national tradition and does not seem to have helped develop social cohesion there.If just to Muslims then it is an act of discrimination against them without any lawful basis. To achieve it you would have to enact discriminatory legislation targeted at Muslims. Is this what Nick Timothy is advocating ?

It's striking that, despite generally avoiding formal action to counter core violations of #dataprotection, this fine pivots around an alleged failure of #agegating since this matter is generally seen as under the @Ofcom #OnlineSafetyAct's child protection jurisdiction 2/2

Although currently misfiled in the @iconews' database as an enforcement notice, the Information Commissioner's £14.5M UK #GDPR fine against @Reddit regarding an alleged failure of age-gating is now out: ico.org.uk/action-weve-ta… 1/2

Celebrating the strength and diversity of our Commonwealth family today and everyday. #CommonwealthDay

During his visit to Canada last year, His Majesty King Charles III reminded us that no nation can live unto itself.  In a more uncertain and divided world, the Commonwealth remains a constant — uniting nations to work together for democracy and for the common good.

@RoyalFamily #Peace is vital including in #Palestine which #Commonwealth recognised from 1967-97. But despite applying for membership, #Palestine is forgotten in today's C/w Day. Not least given the British mandate origins of today’s tragedy, that is a sad failure: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

🌍 Tomorrow is Commonwealth Day: a day to celebrate the 56 nations of the Commonwealth who work together on shared goals like development, democracy and peace. In his annual message to the Commonwealth, The King reflects on how the shared values and collective spirit of its nations can help them face global challenges and build a more hopeful, sustainable future together. Head to our website to read His Majesty’s speech in full: royal.uk

Despite applying for membership in 1997, #Palestine is sadly absent from today's #Commonwealth Day. Not least given the British mandate origins of today’s tragedy, the C/w has a special responsibility which from 1967 to 1997 it did recognise. More at tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Protest outside #CommonwealthDay service at Westminster Abbey attended by #KingCharles 29 #Commonwealth countries jail LGBTs. Six have life imprisonment. Three have death penalty For 77 years, Commonwealth leaders have refused to even discuss LGBT+ rights. SHAME!

This article by David Erdos highlights the gap between the #GDPR’s promised enforcement & the #UK’s reality post-Brexit, where the ICO issues few fines & seldom uses enforcement notices. Read: spkl.io/6013AapIb Subscribe: spkl.io/6016AapIe #LawTwitter
