Repeal UK Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 return to previous EU GDPR legislation.
Repeal the 2025 act (above), and return to the previous GDPR act which offers better privacy protections to UK citizens. The ICO site describes features of this act which effectively remove UK citizen's rights to withhold certain private information. Refuse techno feudalism!

Background
The UK Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 legitimizes intrusion of businesses and other organisations into UK citizen's private information.
Effectively, it allows the gathering and use of data without consent for use in targeted advertising, surveillance and antidemocratic "behaviour modification" techniques ("nudging", etcetera).
The act claims to prioritize business innovation and government efficiencies, but is, rather, a concession to the interests of big tech over UK citizens' rights.
