Should the UK give everyone legal ownership of their face and voice? As AI deepfakes and digital replicas become increasingly realistic, we examine UK copyright law, voice cloning, consent, identity rights, fraud, disability, digital likeness rights and whether Parliament should introduce new legislation.
Denmark is proposing copyright reforms to protect people from AI-generated deepfakes by giving individuals greater control over realistic digital reproductions of their face, body, voice and personal characteristics. We examine the proposed law, EU AI rules, consent, disability, fraud and whether the UK should introduce similar protections.
Identity theft and online impersonation explained: discover what to do if someone registers your name as a domain, creates an AI website, sends emails in your identity, hijacks your name or falsely claims trade mark protection.

An in-depth guide to whistleblowing laws in the UK, the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998, legal protections for whistleblowers, risks of speaking out, evidence needed, and the realities of challenging powerful organisations.
There is no denying that fraud prevention is necessary, but the measures must be proportionate. Instead of casting suspicion on millions, campaigners suggest more targeted investigations, robust safeguards, independent oversight, and legal protections to prevent another scandal. If history teaches us anything, it is that unchecked government surveillance combined with flawed technology can devastate lives.
Phone scams have become a sophisticated threat targeting individuals of all ages. From fake bank calls to impersonations of government bodies like HMRC or the DWP, scammers use fear, urgency, and clever manipulation tactics to trick people into handing over sensitive information or money. Recognising the red flags and knowing how to protect yourself is the first step toward staying safe.
Recent revelations have highlighted disturbing cases of DWP staff committing benefit fraud, stealing funds meant for people living in poverty, with disabilities, or nearing the end of their lives. These are not just administrative errors; these are deliberate criminal acts carried out by individuals who know the system inside and out.
The Public Authorities (Fraud, Error & Recovery) Bill’s provisions, as currently proposed, represent a significant shift in the balance between combating fraud and protecting individual rights. While addressing fraudulent claims and recovering funds are legitimate goals, the government must ensure that these measures do not infringe on legal protections or human dignity.
Recent revelations have sparked concern among disabled campaigners and privacy advocates alike regarding the UK government’s alleged powers to surveil benefit claimants’ bank accounts.
