Digital ID

I'm struggling to understand why they want to introduce this and what benefit they think it would have. The supposed benefits suggested don't make sense and have been refuted by experts… Sooo…..

It's a no from me! 👎️

True true @Albus_Scope, my data is everywhere but combining them all in one central place, from an organisation (the gov) I don't like, or trust, whose leader and use of said data could end up being someone like Farage?? I'll pass.

Do I care uber knows how many deliveries I get each week, a little, it's far too much, no!

Do I care my bank and shops know I spent £60 at adultsuperstore (I didn't, but if I did), again no.

Do I care that one organisation, that I don't like, trust, and controls the legislation around my income, housing, medical care and everything else, will have access to it all combined in one neat place and can use it as evidence of whatever they fancy? And can use it to deny access to places, shops, products and anything else that whoever is in charge decides? Absolutely.

Look at the US and how they're using period tracker apps against people? We should be being more concerned about our data, not less.

Yeah but I don't want to be a farm animal wearing ear tags 😫 (Edit: Unless it's a pig, I love pigs!)

Waaaiit, farm animal? Animal farm eh? 😁

It's exactly what you think it is, people use them to know when they're next due etc, but with the stricter contraception and abortion rules in the US it's been causing issues with companies selling data

I don't think that making ID Cards compulsory is going to solve anything.

To start with - if you lose it - how will you get a replacement and how long will it take ?

Then there's forgeries - no matter how clever they get with design - forgers are one step ahead.

Then there's a problem that if it gets stolen - you will have to prove your Identity before anyone believes you .

The whole idea fills me with dread - they will no doubt rely on these ID Cards and when you forget or lose it - you will be seriously lost !
