"The ICO has consistently failed the rights it is supposed to uphold. Here are just some recent examples. When Reform ran a competition that blatantly broke data protection law, the ICO's response was staggering: it told the public to complain to Reform first, then come back to the ICO if they were still unhappy. ... When Meta announced plans to scrape its users' data to train AI, thousands of people complained to the ICO. Their response was to hold meetings with Meta behind closed doors before giving them the go ahead. The public were ignored. They have also ignored the 70 plus organisations calling for the ICO to investigate the Home Office's eVisa scheme, which triggered serious data protection breaches and locked vulnerable people out of their own immigration records. This isn't an regulator having a bad year. This is an regulator that has stopped doing its job."
