Hippocrates,
I’m not defending our council but I can’t ignore some irony here which is laughable to be honest.
It is clear and can easily be brought to the attention of formal parties that a post published on your platform contains the full name of an employee of the council.
Alongside damaging accusations without results of a full investigation conducted by the party in question. With you also including suggestions that the person should lose their employment.
The main issue is yes a mistake may of been made unintentionally by the council, however you have purposely chosen to post personal information without authorisation on a public forum.
This publication is both harmful and unlawful under UK law for the following reasons:
1. Defamation (Defamation Act 2013): The statements made are false and have the potential to cause serious harm to the named person’s reputation, particularly in relation to the employment. This constitutes defamatory material.
2. Data Protection and UK GDPR (Data Protection Act 2018): The publication of the persons’s full name without consent amounts to unlawful processing of personal data. There is no lawful basis for the disclosure of such data in this context. - irony at its finest that one
3. Harassment (Protection from Harassment Act 1997): Publicly targeting an individual in this manner way could amount to a harassment investigation which is recognised as both a civil wrong and a criminal offence.
In light of these concerns, the following actions are normally formally requested:
• The immediate removal of all posts containing the individuals full name and defamatory statements.
•Written confirmation that such personal data will not be republished in the future.
• Details of any action your platform intends to take against the individual responsible for posting this content.
Failure to act promptly may result in escalation, Due to your protection breaches. As well as you may end up on the end of potential legal proceedings for defamation and harassment.
I have all your details from your YouTube channel and other online sources - so what do you think an actual professional can find out unlike us idiots on this website.
Unlike your self I won’t be posting your details in public a forum.
I understand you may have spotted an error however, I suggest you advise the people effected by the error to request a data leak investigation to the council or company.
Your actions however in this forum aren’t exactly productive and you are yourself running the same risks your accusing the council of.
Not particularly the best behaviour to demonstrate for someone claiming to help with legal matters.
