#DigitalIDs
🚨🇬🇧 Surveillance in the UK is rising as it plans to roll out mandatory #digitalIDs for all its citizens.

Why is this deeply concerning?

❌ Increases state control

❌ Infringes on your privacy

❌ First step to creating a surveillance state

#Peston on #ITVNews selling #DigitalIDs and all the shiny shiny advantages. He thinks, despite apparent support in polling privacy issues of old longer term may prove the plan nemesis again. Distraction from potential Labour illegality increasingly probably after all.

For anyone who came to the #DigitalIDs session this past weekend at @odcamp.uk, this thread from @paulclarke.com is essential reading #ODCamp
I'm seeing so many takes around parts of the "ID card" melange, I have to add a few.

It's not about cards. It's about registers. A register is a definitive 'true source' of data, about people, places, buildings, whatever.

These digital ID cards will be biometric as well. So you just can't had over a NI number and a dodgy ID. The latter is generally a driving licence or you have a passport.
Yes the cash in hand employers will need clamping down.
Now associate digitalIDs to everything on line, digital and official.

Great thread Alex - lots of this was said in my session on #DigitalIDs at #ODCamp this past weekend

#DigitalIDs will store your facial image. handy for the police who can use facial recognition routinely now, no?

#justsayin'....
Live facial recognition to be used by all England and Wales police forces bit.ly/46tLYzb no information here about false positives or convictions just selected statistics about arrests of alleged criminals and nothing of course about future mission creep beyond police
Live facial recognition cameras set for use by police nationwide
Ministers are consulting on guidance for forces that want to use the technology after successful pilot schemes in London and Cardiff

Love you, but why are they giving it to 13 year olds if it is only for being able to work, James? @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk we're already sliding down the slippery slope. #digitalIDs

Every adult in the UK might soon be forced to carry a digital ID as part of new plans announced by the Prime Minister, but it might not be enough to cut rapidly growing support for Nigel Farage’s Reform UK around the issue of immigration.
