I fail to understand how the free flow of personal data across borders protects personal data as they state? In fact how is this even beneficial to people the UK?
UK, South Korea strike data-sharing pact
The governments of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Korea (that's South Korea) have reached an in-principle agreement to share data across borders. It's the first such deal struck by the UK since Brexit, and therefore significant politically and commercially. It's also significant to citizens of both nations, as the …

Not a great example
Credit card transactions are already covered in the card T's and C's and the card scheme rules. No actual transfer of Broad PII is made.
The card scheme is asked 'this card? This amount? And either gets back a yes, go for it, or no, basic reasons.
You dont need a cross border data adequacy agreement to achieve that.
This is more about supported data harvesting for big tech...

Last week I tried to turn off the data sharing permissions in my Samsung TV. There are hundreds of sites receiving information.. So many that they are grouped alphabetically A-G H-K etc.
And each one has to be turned off individually, sometimes with two or more permissions.There's no "stop all" button. But there is an "allow all" (why would you) option that would be easy to hit by accident, should you turn off the permissions.
I've complained to Samsung UK nd made it clear that I do not give my permission. They have a month, then I'll complain formally to the ICO (ICO's advice when I spoke to them).
I have no doubt it won't make the blindest bit of difference. Unless lots of people do the same, which won't happen because most viewers won't even know, let alone care.
I only found out when my TV guide started putting an advert across the page - and I went in search of a way to stop it.
NB. Will never buy another Samsung TV, or indeed anything else.

Re: Easy but naughty solution.
That would depend on if you want to get thumped.
Korean and Japanese are somewhat similar in many ways. Koreans and Japanese are related. Telling either group anything of the sort is an excellent way of getting both groups really annoyed with you. The only quicker way to get in really big trouble really fast that I know of is to mention the similarities between Croats, Serbs, and Bosnians. Except that way you have three groups mad at you.

Re: Use LibreOffice
If it’s as good as LO’s MS Office importer, you‘ll end with a mangled document unless the document was fairly simple. Complex documents, with tables, borders, and such, don’t transfer well from MS Word to LO. I wouldn’t expect LO to do much better with a product from a smaller vendor.
