It's interesting that this is highlighted in a British paper, as this is due to EU regulations that the UK will soon not be bound by. And the British government has already announced that they are ready to "seize the benefits of Brexit" by cutting down on such business hostile regulations as privacy [0] and human rights [1].
I would guess that this change will be rolled back in the UK as soon as it becomes legal.
