Doesn't mean they are ignoring it
They are not ENFORCING it at the moment. Doesn't mean they are ignoring it. Deferring is better wording.
The Wired article quotes a letter received by a complainant from the ICO. "We have therefore decided not to take forward any complaints that require organisations to take action or respond to enquiries from us until the situation improves."
If you receive a letter saying "we have decided not to take forward your job application", it means that the company isn't going to hire you, not that they are going to hire you in a couple of weeks time.
It the ICO isn't processing these complaints until the end of the Covid crisis, but the complaints will be saved up an actioned after that, perhaps they should have actually said that instead of writing in ambiguous euphemistic bollocks management speak.
