@jonpsp@mstdn.social the UK GDPR is distinct from the EU GDPR. The UK government is actively seeking to diverge from EU rules on legitimate interests and scientific research to make data usage easier for AI and tech firms. Since it's enforced by the UK's ICO rather than EU authorities, the UK can interpret and weaken these protections unilaterally. So, in the UK, companies and data trackers (including those in your phone) might be able to feed your pictures/recordings into privacy-invasive tools. @ArtGeek@mastodon.social
