rolling out e-Visas as mandatory, and selling it under anti-migrant rhetoric? are they serious with this PR shit?

this system is genuinely botched, it needs a massive overhaul (I say this as a supporter of digitalisation btw) – hell, even BRP cards aren't phased out entirely yet – and they have no idea at all to where this will lead complete disaster thetimes.com/uk/politics/artic (unpaywalled archive.is/BvplS)

"In part one of this series on age verification in the European Union, we gave an overview of the state of the debate in the EU and introduced an age verification app, or mini-wallet, that the European Commission has commissioned. In this post, we will take a more detailed look at the app, how it will work and what some of its shortcomings are.

According to the original tender and the app’s recently published specifications, the Commission is soliciting the creation of a mobile application that will act as a digital wallet by storing a proof of age to enable users to verify their ages and access age-restricted content.

After downloading the app, a user would request proof of their age. For this crucial step, the Commission foresees users relying on a variety of age verification methods, including national eID schemes, physical ID cards (acknowledging that biometric analysis would be necessary for identifying a user corresponding to an ID), linking the app to another app that contains information about a user’s age, like a banking app, or age assessment through third parties like post offices.

In the next step, the age verification app would generate a proof of age. Once the user would access a website restricting content for certain age cohorts, the platform would request proof of the user’s age through the app. The app would then present proof of the user’s age via the app, allowing online services to verify the age attestation and the user would then access age-restricted websites or content in question. The goal is to build an app that will be aligned and allows for integration with the architecture of the upcoming EU Digital Identity Wallet."

“The Labour government needs to take Nigel #Farage head on, not pander to his attempts to divide our country,” #LiberalDemocrat leader Sir Ed Davey said. “We saw in #Canada how Mark #Carney turned the tide against populism by standing up to Trump and staying true to his values. In this week’s elections, we were the only party to hold back #Reform with our focus on community values and pavement politics.”

Indeed, kissing #Trump’s arse did wonders for the popularity of his political cult members in Canada and Australia 🫣

MP ‘Jo White, who…founded the #RedWall caucus of #Labour MPs, said the government should stop “pussyfooting around” and “take a leaf out of President Trump’s book”.

'White called for #digitalID cards as a way of reducing immigration and for regional grooming gang inquiries.’

Dear #auspost , I DO NOT WANT your #DigitaliD service.
I should not need your shitty service to add my phone number.
I should not need your shitty service to add my address, or set a collection post office, or collection locker.

Don't wonder why people prefer other services, just try to use your own.

⚠️ Digital identity laws in the EU are raising red flags for privacy advocates 🧠🛑

The European Commission wants to mandate digital ID-based age verification — but at what cost?

🚨 Risks flagged by EFF include:
🪪 Forced disclosure of identity for basic access
🧩 Loss of anonymous expression
👁️ Infrastructure that could enable mass surveillance
🔐 Heightened exposure of sensitive data

💡 There’s a way to protect children without compromising core digital freedoms. Let’s find it.

UK/AU Discord users might need a face or ID scan to see sensitive stuff now. It's an experiment for child safety laws. Discord says data is deleted, but what if the scan gets your age wrong?
