Set out how personal data can be used by political campaigns before the GE.
The news has today highlighted how political campaigns use data farmed from social media and data brokers, without the knowledge of those the data is about. This data is then used to influence the electoral campaign (including Brexit).
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has called on the Government to introduce a code of practice limiting how personal information can be used by political campaigns before the next general election.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular we're not sure what you mean by "set out how personal data can be used".
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition explicitly calling for the Government to introduce a code of practice on how personal information can be used by political campaigns.
