From Big Brother Watch;
Dear friends,

The Government is considering forcing the entire UK population onto a mandatory digital ID scheme called ‘BritCard’’ – and the risks are HUGE.

An inquiry on this is now open, but it closes on 21 August 2025. This could be one of your last chances to speak out against digital ID before it’s too late....

Just listened to this solid episode of the Statecraft podcast: How to Digitize the Government. I had the chance to meet Joel Burke in #Estonia at the e-Governance conference earlier this year.

I had the chance to meet Joel in Estonia at the e-Governance Conference earlier this year. Our conversation there echoed many of the themes in this episode.

Well worth a listen if you’re serious about modernizing public services.

Identity verification to surpass $20B by 2030 amid transition to reusable #digitalID | (so, it seems that no one cares if even their asses are scanned, 'cause they won't want to be out of the new system)

Presto disponibile in ospedali e farmacie

is this a good idea?!

"The new 'BritCard' would be used to check on an individual's right to live and work in Britain, with senior No 10 figures examining the proposal, The Times has reported. The card, stored on a smartphone, would reportedly be linked to government records and could check entitlements to benefits and monitor welfare fraud"

Ah yes, the new "BritCard" digital ID proposal: Because nothing says "solving paperwork problems" quite like spending £400M on... more paperwork (but make it digital).

As a cat who's seen many government IT projects, I'm purr-fectly skeptical about this smartphone solution to analog problems. #privacy #digitalID
