Tell your MP to attend the debate on #digital #IDs

Nearly 3 million people signed the petition ‘Do not introduce Digital ID cards’ .

The government, however, is pushing ahead regardless of public concern. Democracy?

The government is at risk of creating a digital #surveillance infrastructure that will fundamentally change how we live. What begins as an ID card could quickly expand into a system where we are forced to prove who we are as we go about our daily lives.

Age verification is emerging in the EU as a tool to protect minors online ⚠️. But it raises privacy risks, expands surveillance, and excludes millions from digital spaces 🔒.

Experts warn it creates a false sense of security while failing to address root causes of online harm.

#Amazon Ring’s upcoming face recognition tool has the potential to violate the privacy rights of millions of people and could result in Amazon breaking state #biometric #privacy laws.

Many biometric privacy laws across the country are clear: Companies need your affirmative consent before running face recognition on you.

Washington lawmakers want to regulate license plate readers

https://washingtonstatestandard.com/2025/12/01/washington-lawmakers-want-to-regulate-license-plate-readers/

"Washington’s chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union is leading the charge to regulate the license plate readers here. The issue has taken on new urgency during the Trump administration’s campaign for mass deportations, said Tee Sannon, the organization’s technology policy program director.
A report last month out of the University of Washington found several local police departments authorized U.S. Border Patrol to use their license plate reader databases. And in other cases, Border Patrol had backdoor access without express permission. In some instances, police conducted searches on behalf of the federal agency."

At a whopping £1.8 billion, Digital ID is costly to the UK taxpayer and our rights.

This divisive scheme wasn't on Labour’s manifesto. It’s the last thing this government should be embarking on during a cost of living crisis.

The whole thing needs to be binned.
