The UK is moving toward a more invasive Digital ID system.
Even from the EU, we should stand with people in the UK defending online privacy and freedom.
Surveillance doesn’t stop at borders — neither should resistance.

At a whopping £1.8 billion, Digital ID is costly to the UK taxpayer and our rights.

This divisive scheme wasn't on Labour’s manifesto. It’s the last thing this government should be embarking on during a cost of living crisis.

The whole thing needs to be binned.

I can think of far better ways to spend £1.8bn. of public money than on #DigitalID.

Starmer’s digital ID cards are the last thing Britain needs

The benefits of BritCard accrue not to us, but to the state: a unifying ID which bureaucrats can use to oversee our lives, linking all the parts together. But it is not fulfilling an unmet need. There is no market failure in digital identity services in 2025. The UK’s private sector identity market is thriving. Here’s how it evolved…

I noticed elsewhere EU could be planning a unified Linux. It occurred to me that one #strength of #linux could be its DIVERSITY.

That idea works elsewhere. Strength in #diversity

The #ukgovernment single login gateway could be just what hackers want. A single point of entry they can hit repeatedly to target a careless foe. As with central control of ID.

Well, so good luck, everyone, welcome to future disaster.

The UK Has It Wrong on Digital ID. Here’s Why | Electronic Frontier Foundation

…digital ID leaves vulnerable and marginalized people not only out of the debate and ultimately out of the society that these governments want to build. We remain concerned about the potential for digital identification to exacerbate existing social inequalities, particularly for those with reduced access to digital services or people seeking asylum.

Current #broken-#system of #bankers used to keep people as poor slaves working for kings is #switching now into fully decentralized #crypto-#system which real purpose is to protect and provide freedom, peace and prosperity for everyone.

Are you choosing #digitalID or #Crypto?

The UK plans a mandatory digital ID to verify work eligibility by 2028 🇬🇧.

Experts warn it risks exclusion, deepens inequalities, and concentrates personal data in centralized systems 🔒. Critics argue it’s a privacy and rights concern, not a solution.

The #UK Has It Wrong on #DigitalID. Here’s Why

The scheme will, according to the PM, “cut the faff” in proving people’s identities by creating a virtual ID on personal devices with info like people’s name, DoB, nationality or residency status, & photo to verify their right to live & work in the country.

This is the latest example of a gov creating a new digital system that is fundamentally incompatible with a #privacy -protecting & #HumanRights -defending #democracy

what exactly are they going to spend £1.8 billion - and £600 million annually for maintenance?! consultants & think tanks who will design it? https://www.theregister.com/2025/11/28/digital_id_cost/

this is so done before it even started lol
