[Air-L] Brexit Data Misuse Legal Outcomes

[Dr. Emma Briant]

Dear Colleagues,

A little news, if I may ...Arron Banks the funder of the far right
LeaveEU/brexit campaign headed by Nigel Farage just lost his court appeal
for the £105,000 fines for misuse of data and illegal marketing which
resulted from evidence submissions and testimony I submitted to the UK's
data regulator the ICO in 2018. these were evidence submissions that
resulted in death threats for me. I share here the new Guardian story and
links to my evidence from that period
