“Users of X whose images were manipulated without their consent will expect to see the ICO move quickly and take decisive action in this case”

“The news that the ICO has now opened a formal investigation into X and xAI is welcome. The alteration of images to create deepfakes involves the processing of personal data and so falls squarely within the ICO’s remit.”

Data protection predictions for 2026 | Law Gazette Data protection laws in the UK and other jurisdictions will continue to evolve to meet novel challenges.

I wrote some thoughts for the Law Society Gazette on data protection in 2026

Smiling whilst holding up my medal after completing the race. Text is from Strava and says Valencia Marathon (2:47:45), Distance 26.37 miles, Pace 6:22 /mile

Super happy with 2:47:45 for the Valencia marathon today. Even managed a small negative split

Less than 24 hours to Valencia Marathon…

If Parliament had intended there to be an ‘egregiousness’ test for data breaches, you’d have thought they might have included one in the legislation

Represented Dwyrain Cymru at the Welsh inter regional XC on Saturday then another 13 miles on Sunday to bring up 239 miles for November. It’s been a disrupted training block but hopefully I’m ready for Valencia marathon next Sunday. ¡Vamos!

You're right, of course. I was getting carried away!

Says a lot about being a lifelong Cov fan that my first thought on seeing this table was:

“40 points! Should be safe from relegation”

First 20 miler in a very long time. Really pleased with the pace and consistency. Only 3 weeks to go until Valencia marathon

An image with a dark blue background filled with white digital code. At the top, the flags of the European Union and the United Kingdom are displayed side-by-side. The main text, "Draft renewal of the UK adequacy decisions," is in white, enclosed by light blue angular brackets. In the bottom left corner, there's small white text that reads "© LightfoLife via Adobe Stock," and in the bottom right corner, the European Commission logo is visible.

Data protection is a cornerstone of EU values.

Today, we've launched the process to renew our adequacy decisions with 🇬🇧.

This would ensure personal data can continue to flow safely between the EU and the UK beyond December 2025.
