⚡️🇬🇧 FYI - DIGITAL ID UPDATE: This is worse than we thought The government just pushed an alarming update to the Digital ID plan — and it reads like a surveillance wishlist. If you value privacy, this should terrify you. 🔴 They plan to collect everything: name, DoB, address history, phone & email, IP, device IDs, passports, driving licences, biometric residence permits, identity cards — plus unique account identifiers and location derived from IP. 🔴 They’ll share analytics data with third parties outside the EEA (Google Analytics / Dynatrace flagged) — meaning your identity data could be transferred to foreign jurisdictions. 🔴 This system centralises your entire digital life: payments, school places, benefits, tax records — all linked to one ID. A hacker’s dream — one breach, total exposure. 🔴 “Convenience” is the cover. The endgame is control: surveillance baked into everyday life under the guise of public service. 🔴 Politicians talk about safeguards — but history shows the state hands these systems to contractors, quietly shelves the red flags, and moves fast. This isn’t a hypothetical. It’s a blueprint to make you searchable, shoppable, and controllable. Resist the roll-out politically, demand full parliamentary scrutiny, and insist on iron-clad limits before anyone signs your digital life away.
