An article by Howard Sklar posted on the inforiskawareness.co.uk blog.
This article discusses the fact that some content within an email message might be subject to production pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act request.
The article states, "It’s not unexpected, but recent guidance by the UK government opens up a Pandora’s Box for individuals. The UK government has clarified its interpretation of the Freedom of Information Act: official information, even if stored or sent via personal email accounts, is disclosable under FOIA. On the one hand, this can be seen as an advancement in open government. On the other, the intrusion into the personal space is worrisome." A link to the FOIA is provided in the article.
The article further goes on to state, "In order to ensure open government, FOIA requires an intrusion into our personal sphere. If you use official tools for personal use, you forfeit the ability to keep that information from FOIA requests."
