Government to consult on digital IDs for 13-year-olds

• cs02rm0 1y ago
  Can someone make the totalitarian fountain of this government stop? There's been a significant backlash against this and yet they're just extending it at every turn.

  > an official government response ... says: "This is not a card but a new digital identity that will be available for free..." I would like to think this is to be a digital means to /verify existing identity/. But no, "a new digital identity"... What can possibly go wrong?

    The petition is "Do not introduce Digital ID cards" and they had to respond, so they responded "this is not a card"... (Sir Keir Starmer, KC [1]) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King%27s_Counsel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King%27s_Counsel

      Indeed, hoping the sheeples will forget it is called BritCard https://www.labourtogether.uk/all-reports/britcard https://www.labourtogether.uk/all-reports/britcard Starmer is digging a grave for this card and his job.

  It's clever but they need to wrap it a bit more with "think about children" wrapper and appeal to parents instincts using rhetoric like: - make your kids online activity safe, monitor and control activity - protect your kids against dangerous predators lurking online With this strategy it will work flawlessly and without too much opposition.
