There are several problems:
- It is more than just posts on social media. The databases cover "sensitive medical data" and "financial details" and much more.
- The oversight body was not informed that this data was being shared with foreign governments, law enforcement and industry partners.
- There is no oversight on the sharing of this data with these partners, and no legal penalties for misuse of the data.
- There is no requirement that partner agencies have similar safeguards with respect to processing the data that the UK agencies already have in place.
