UK: Proposal to share personal data

He is looking to revise some of the terms of the data protection law to be able to share citizens' personal information with other government agencies. However, this move has met with fierce opposition because it is thought to be aimed at the "big brother" of America.

According to the new proposal by the British government, citizens of the country will be consulted before their data is shared. However, in most cases, according to the laws of the country, government agencies cannot share personal information of people.

The reason that the British government has given is to improve government services, and to avoid having people declare similar personal information to many different regulatory agencies.

In the UK, personal freedom is very sensitive because the government is maintaining a series of IT projects related to national health services, border checks and national ID cards. The problem that concerns people is how these data will be stored, who has access to these databases, and how they will be protected.

UK data protection laws have been around for decades to protect people from the information abuse of government agencies. The government's plan to create a "super database" that contains all the personal information makes many people worry that there will be more risks.

On January 15, the British government consulted 100 people on new adjustments related to data protection laws. Feedback will be reported to Tony Blair's cabinet in early March.
