#DigitalIDs will store your facial image. handy for the police who can use facial recognition routinely now, no?

#justsayin'....
Live facial recognition to be used by all England and Wales police forces bit.ly/46tLYzb no information here about false positives or convictions just selected statistics about arrests of alleged criminals and nothing of course about future mission creep beyond police
Live facial recognition cameras set for use by police nationwide
Ministers are consulting on guidance for forces that want to use the technology after successful pilot schemes in London and Cardiff

🚨🇬🇧 Surveillance in the UK is rising as it plans to roll out mandatory #digitalIDs for all its citizens.

Why is this deeply concerning?

❌ Increases state control

❌ Infringes on your privacy

❌ First step to creating a surveillance state

What's the big deal with digital IDs? The threat of expanded government power to police people’s movement and medical care; particularly concerning as more people cross state lines to get necessary health care. convergencemag.com.

For anyone who came to the #DigitalIDs session this past weekend at @odcamp.uk, this thread from @paulclarke.com is essential reading #ODCamp
I'm seeing so many takes around parts of the "ID card" melange, I have to add a few.

It's not about cards. It's about registers. A register is a definitive 'true source' of data, about people, places, buildings, whatever.

HELL NO.

#DigitalIDs are the worst invention since #ChrisLuxon's govt.
Our privacy is at stake. Just look at the opposition it's garnered in the UK.

Considering what's happening with #DigitalIDs in the #UK, this sounds like a lousy idea.

#Westminster demands that digital #Monopolies like #TikTok ban minors under threat of colossal fines. Yet, relying on flawed facial recognition and intrusive #DigitalIDs proves these MPs fundamentally misunderstand basic internet architecture. #UKPolitics #TechBan

#DigitalIDs make it tempting to leave your physical ID at home but that’s a dangerous risk.
If you hand over your unlocked phone to a police officer to show them something, it becomes this complicated factual question about what consent you’ve granted for a search

Don’t ever hand your phone to the cops
Even if you’ve got nothing to hide.

If it is like most EU projects, it is probably mostly marketing and PR that will get little to no investment and tons of behind the scenes infighting…

Not trying to nay sayer, but I think they want an example for #digitalIds to push that on other networks

Every adult in the UK might soon be forced to carry a digital ID as part of new plans announced by the Prime Minister, but it might not be enough to cut rapidly growing support for Nigel Farage’s Reform UK around the issue of immigration.
