Propose a change

Data Protection Act 2018

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

What to do with it
As published

50A Automated processing and significant decisions

(1) For the purposes of sections 50B and 50C— (a) a decision is based solely on automated processing if there is no meaningful human involvement in the taking of the decision, and (b) a decision is a significant decision, in relation to a data subject, if— (i) it produces an adverse legal effect for the data subject, or (ii) it has a similarly significant adverse effect for the data subject. (2) When considering whether there is meaningful human involvement in the taking of a decision, a person must consider, among other things, the extent to which the decision is reached by means of profiling.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
