  The UK has left the EU however the Data Protection Act 2018 which implemented GDPR within the UK is still in effect.

  It is until the end of the 2020 transition period. Thereafter it is not, but the Government intends to introduce similar privacy legislation. > The Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018), which currently supplements and tailors the GDPR within the UK, will continue to apply. > The provisions of the GDPR will be incorporated directly into UK law from the end of the transition period, to sit alongside the DPA 2018. https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/data-protection-at-the-end-of-the-transition-period/information-rights-at-the-end-of-the-transition-period-frequently-asked-questions/ https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/data-protection-at-the-...

    I know it’s bad form to ask, but I’m curious why this is being downvoted. It’s factually correct so far as I can tell.

      It's because Hacker News is very anti-privacy, unless it's their own data. You should only be allowed to control your own PII if you can afford a $1000 Apple product. Everyone else is fair game.

      I guess it's the "government intends to" given how close to the end of the year is Of course everything regarding the EU exist is a total mess, now, with just 7 days, 9 hours left - including Christmas Day and Boxing Day - so just 2 working days left - we've been told that there is a new trade deal with the EU, which may or may not be passed into law this year on both the EU and the UK side. I believe that the appropiate laws and instruments are already in place to roll over GDPR into next year
