Re: You brought up an interesting point
Because regrettably the ICO requires that people attempt to complain to the data controller first (which I am sure will end well if the data controller is in any way lax or dodgy to start with), before actually bothering to look into any concerns themself. Given how hard it is to awaken the ICO to take action, the well tested journalistic technique of name and shame tends to have more effect.
