DIGITAL ID: "If we stand #together the game ends" (DJ Lange)

Privacy and freedom should never be traded for “convenience.” Govt services should serve citizens - not consolidate everyone into a single system by default. Convenience for whom, exactly?

DIGITAL ID: "1.3m veterans in the UK (but only) 15,000 have adopted the Digital ID card"

"How does one prove that you are an adult? People are really worried this is Digital ID by the back door" - Zia Yusuf

We are told this is about "protecting children from social media"

But the practical direction of travel points somewhere else:

Access to services will depend on proving age or identity, and anonymous users - if they are not shut out entirely - will increasingly be treated as suspect

Does a "social media ban" really mean ID checks for everyone?

Just one question explored in our fascinating in-depth interview with Jen Persson
of Defend Digital Me 👇

We discuss age verification, social media restrictions, digital ID, children's data, parental responsibility and the future of online freedom in the UK

SOCIAL MEDIA 'BAN': "What it will actually mean is that we have to digitally verify ourselves in order to participate" (Alan Miller)

Do not allow this government to impose Digital ID verification through Big Tech on us all

ONE LOGIN: "This will be worse than Horizon scandal" (David Davis MP)

"The entire population's data will be open to malevolent actors, foreign nations, ransomware criminals, hackers, their enemies... (One Login is) scandalously insecure"

One Login is steadily bringing more personal information into one place and has expanded across 200+ government services already - while grave security concerns persist 'National Audit Office'

What Is the NHS Federated Data Platform - and Why Is It So Controversial?

The NHS, Palantir, and the Data Platform Most People Have Never Heard Of 👇

Child safety starts with parents, not the state.

Children do not independently acquire smartphones.

These devices are bought, configured, and managed by parents or carers.

No child enters the online world without an adult making that decision first.

And parents already have tools available to them.

A parent who wants a child-lock on a phone can switch one on today. For free. It is already built into modern devices. Screen-time limits, app restrictions, and content filters exist right now and are widely available.

Despite this, what is now being proposed is a shift towards mandatory, system-wide enforcement built into every device, and applied to every user.

⚠️ A “social media ban” sounds like it’s about children.

But the systems behind it could mean all of us having to prove who we are before using parts of the internet.

What starts as age checks could become a system where ordinary people are identified, tracked and monitored just to find information, speak, share and take part online.

Don’t let age checks become Digital ID by the back door.

The open internet has given ordinary people the power to learn, create, organise, challenge those in power and speak freely.

That freedom is now under threat.

SECURITY: From banking to social media, passwords protect almost everything online. But how long should your password be, and how much difference does it make to your security?
