@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.

You can refuse to provide official ID or biometric data for social media accounts requiring age verification.
Actually, I bet if everyone did refuse, and let their account dormant for a couple of weeks, you would suddenly see American Big Tech transforming into the fiercest defender of your privacy rights, using their powerful network of lobbyists to fight these invasive government regulations.
They need you more than you need them.
Force them to work for your rights.
Do not comply.

Age verification goes beyond porn. It includes social media, streaming, dating apps and gaming.
Millions of UK users have to trade their sensitive data to access information, services or support online.
We compromise our identity with no regulatory standards for privacy or security.
We say no!

“Platforms choose which [age verification] provider to use, and the public has to hope they can be trusted.”
They have an incentive to choose cheaper and less secure vendors, mainly located in the US, with varying data protection standards.
This can't continue. We need regulation now!

ORG is asking the UK Government, ICO and Ofcom to establish compulsory privacy and security standards for age verification providers to ensure that users’ sensitive data is protected.
