Fucksake. Government has stripped the Kidron amendment defending creators’ copyright out of the Data Bill using an arcane parliamentary instrument.

Baroness Kidron added common-sense amendments to a bill, requiring overseas AI cos to respect UK copyright law if they want to operate here. Incredibly, the govt removed these.
