The Information Commissioner has slapped down the DWP for hiding evidence linked to benefit-related deaths.

When scrutiny is treated as “harassment”, secrecy becomes policy.

Interesting post (and quick read) by #FOI journalist Dean Beeby. Seems that the Gov't of Canada's freedom of info / access to info system is working so badly that fewer people are trying to use it. Which was, I'm sure, the plan

@oldclumsy_nowmad Always a good idea to pay attention to any elected officials who try & fuck around with #FOI laws & twist them to avoid #PublicTransparency & #PublicScrutiny & #PublicAccountability. Any public official, who works towards more censorship of information that should be seen by citizens, is a dirty, shady-ass scroundel. Any elected officials who support more censorship/cover-ups are equally sleazy. Don't let these corrupt wankerbutternoodles forget they are #PublicServants & they will be fired by the public, one way or another.

I'm not surprised that the Epstein Files released were full of black boxes/censored info. It's very common for corrupt & shady governments to do shit like that - after dragging releasing of files out. In the USA - both the GOP & DNC are two wings of same shitbird.

In BC - our former crimes against humanity Premier John Horgan increased #FOI request fees - which made things too expensive for many nonprofits, grassroots community orgs, Union of BC First Nations, independent media outlets - to obtain data/information. When those who could pay higher FOI request fees - what we'd usually receive are not transparent files. It would take months to receive boxes of censored information. They're usually full of redactions/censored black boxes. Essentially, the government is charging more money for FOI requests but providing far less data/transparency than prior to Horgan hijacking freedom of information act. The undemocratic move was to hide BC NDP corruption from public eyes.

Winter pressures usually put the NHS in the news this time of year.

Combine that with using #FOI to find stories ahead of the holiday period and there's quite a few health stories this week:

RE: infosec.exchange/@crikeycon/11

Figured #CrikeyCon 11 might be a good place to talk about my #FOI battle to END SECURITY BY OBSCURITY 🤞

- notice dta.gov.au/ got a makeover and old blog posts were disappeared, including some of particular interest

- send #FOI request for the disappeared posts

- 199 articles released in full

- the posts I'm looking for aren't there 💀

Grateful for DTA for earnest work on a voluminous request. Internal review necessary, unfortunately.

Kings College London took so long to respond to my request about the formation of a transphobic staff network (SEEN Network) that I almost forgot I made it, & am no longer well enough to read through the 55 pages they've released, but you can:
