I disagree as I have never sold anything on line.

this according to AI:
Amazon's UK ID verification process depends on the reason.For account recovery, you may need to upload a government-issued ID. For selling, verification usually involves submitting business and identity documents through Seller Central or Amazon Pay, which can take up to ten days or longer. For student verification, you'll need to email a specific student ID or document to a dedicated Amazon address
.
Also, if you are claiming a refund for a high valuable object, you could be asked to provide id verification.
and there’s nothing in Amazon terms and conditions regarding id verification for customers as a default setting nor anything in the news.0 -
a set of saucepans.

I also found this as a possible explanation:
- Account security or payment issues:Occasionally, Amazon may ask for identity verification if there are security concerns with your account or to verify a new payment method, to prevent fraud or money laundering.
Customs regulations: For international orders, some countries' customs offices require the recipient to provide specific identification details before releasing a delivery.

while I am not worried about them asking for identity. Amazon need to realize that they’ll does not have work permits or residency cards as of yet. Not for uk born peeps.

I am seriously thinking of moving back to Cape Town as I can easily rent my home out.
Too much big brother in the UK.
Seriously thinking that I do not belong in my own country.I find it very disturbing.
I was talking to a friend on the phone who lives in Peterborough and apparently they have an identity card that they show when going to a hospital appointment.I think Peterborough is a trial area.

I agree its is so scary all of this everyday seems walls closing in i have no where to escape too 196 countries signed into this agenda will cape town be free of Digital ID

Cape Town has digital identity as well. It has made no difference. What I do know is workmen and older people have no fingerprints so identity or FIKA as it is known becomes a problem.

My concern is that it is another database that hackers can breach and get hold of all my details, also this is an additional cost to the already overburdened public purse and they will try and get the money from more disabled cuts.

I hope that I never get tempted again in my life

In all honesty… I’m strongly against it!! Personally I see it as an invasion of privacy and see it as a way of the government keeping track of you with organisations such as MI5/6 and GCHQ as well will embed software into the programming of the digital ids, to be able to turn on mobile phone cameras and microphones remotely alongside also switching on your phone even if you have switched it off. Plus they would be able to keep an accurate track of your whereabouts with location services.
I for one won’t be signing up for one or downloading any form of digital id software.

A digital/physical hybrid and on a voluntary basis is something I would agree with. I never had an issue with an American style ID card and I suspect the Tories in 2010 were against physical ID because they wanted Digital ID rather than some Libertarian belief.
The Tories themselves put forth digital frameworks in a bill in 2022/2023, the framework was already being created before Labour got into government.

No fan of them either but Blair has been pushing for this for a very long time.

Everyone appears petrified of Big Brother watching them - but in my view - why on earth would BB be interested in the daily life of a normal human being ?
Unless that individual is doing something wrong/illegal - the technology still doesn't exist to "track every movement of **** million people going about there normal hum drum days" and if they did find an individual who had raised a suspicion - then yes, it could potentially save a life or two.

the downside is that like the driving licence you will have to pay for a new id every five or ten years
