[Link updated as the ICO has moved its blog]
On the 25th of April, I wrote GDPR: you’re all getting it wrong.
On the 9th of May, Steve Wood (the Deputy Commissioner) wrote this: https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/news-and-events/news-and-blogs/2018/05/blog-raising-the-bar-consent-under-gdpr/
See? I may be a voice in the wilderness, but I’m not (always) wrong.
A bigger picture 
Interestingly enough that link is no longer valid…
https://iconewsblog.org.uk/2018/05/09/raising-the-bar-consent-under-the-gdpr/
…in fact the whole site http://iconewsblog.org.uk seems to have been removed – without getting all conspiracy theorist about it what do you think is going on?
Nothing sinister. They’ve moved their blog to https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/news-and-events/news-and-blogs/. I’ve updated the link. Thanks for spotting it.
Perfect, thanks for the new link 🙂
