Why shouldn’t we go along with digital ID? It’s not as if the government doesn’t already have a considerable amount of our information
After the whole ‘think of the children’ fiasco that they lazily put into law without due diligence, I’d be a little more concerned about which companies they’re handing that massive cache of data to.
Noone asked for it, noone voted for it, noone wants it.
If they don’t know where they can stick it I suppose we’ll have to show them
The primary problem is that cybersecurity laws are being passed without question by people who *don’t understand the first fucking thing about cybersecurity*.
It’s a recipe for disaster, and we’ll be the ones who end up paying for the cleanup.
the worst thing about that is watchdogs legion isn’t even ten years old. it’s Five years old
it took, five fucking years for ridiculous techno-dystopian shit to go from fiction to the government trying to do it.
at least the verbal control from 1984 happened a good 50+ years after the books release.
Highly doubt that the option to restrict access to money without digital id will happen as it would require banks to make changes. Pretty sure if the government tries it, the banks would rebel.
And anyway, incentives work best.
Option 1 – the abolishment of the TV licensing department if the majority of UK pick up digital id
Option 2 – one free slap a politician when you sign up to digital id
This meme is nonsense, and this is coming from someone who’s against mandatory digital ID.
But can I get back on pornhub?
I don’t and will never own a mobile phone, their digital id is a threat they will have to offer an offline alternative to, so get that version.
We have a government which thinks the solution to a growing Far Right movement is to engage in authoritarianist measures without stopping to consider that all the measures they are putting in place are creating the very tools a Far Right movement would need to turn this country into a dictatorship if they get in power
And the worst part of it all? If you try to warn the government about this path they are on they just reply with a copy and pasted response accusing you of somehow wanting to harm children and I’m not exaggerating this as my last two emails to my local MP had him basically accuse me of wanting to harm children for pointing out that the OSA was one Farage away from a morality police law
You won’t be able to get benefits without a digital ID.
About 10 years ago, a school friend of mine who works in high finance told me to invest in digital ID companies, i laughed at him and said “what like big brother shit?”
