UK's top data and AI regulator quits after 'inappropriate' humour

"I have accepted that there have been occasions where I exercised poor judgement and made attempts at humour that were inappropriate and caused offence."

— John Edwards , Executive

"I am extremely concerned that he continues to describe these incidents as misplaced humour."

— Liz Kendall , Politician

"John Edwards' departure is a chance for the Government to appoint a regulator with teeth, and reset the regulators' approach of providing data protection in name only."

— Jim Killock , Activist
