@eff & 12 Organizations Urge #UK Politicians to Drop #DigitalID Scheme Ahead of #Parliamentary Petition Debate

The UK’s PM Keir Starmer pitched the scheme as a way to “cut the faff” in proving people’s identities by creating a virtual #ID on personal devices with info like names, date of birth, nationality, photo, & residency status to verify their right to live & work in the country.

But the case for digital identification has not been made.
