This only applies to GBP stables, no one holds them anyway, but still, it's the principle
The UK is a totalitarian state that is crushing all innovation and productivity
More tax rises, more regulation, less freedom
Fuck all these spineless politicians
Digital ID for every adult is not progress. It is the end of a free society dressed up as convenience.
I am a cyber security specialist. This is my take.
They are selling it as a fix for illegal migration. That is bollocks.
We spend hundreds of billions a year on cyber security and yet the volume of breaches is breaking records. The threat is growing faster than the spend.
Digital ID will not stop boats. It will not stop trafficking gangs. It will not fix a broken border.
โจCriminals will work around it.
Honest citizens will pay the price.
It builds giant data banks that track where you go, what you buy, what you read and who you speak to.
โจIt links your identity to every checkpoint in daily life.
โจOne breach and your life is exposed.
Look at Jaguar Land Rover and the airports in recent weeks. Now imagine that at national scale on an ID system tied to everything you need to live your daily life.
Here is the risk that ministers will not admit.
โจRansomware seeded through a supplier or an insider:
โจIt lies quiet for months.โจIt rolls through the backups.โจOn trigger day the register and the recovery sets are both encrypted.
โจPayments fail. Health and benefits stall. Borders slow. Citizens are frozen out until a ransom is paid or the state rebuilds from scratch.
โจCentralise identity and you centralise failure.
Do not fall for the pitch.
Function creep is certain.โจIt starts as login.
โจIt becomes access to money, travel, speech and public services.
โจIt turns rights into permissions controlled by the state and its contractors.
โจIt creates a single point of failure for criminals, insiders and hostile states to target.
โจIt will punish the elderly, the poor and anyone who is not always online.
โจIt will centralise risk and outsource blame.
โจIt will not stop fraud.
โจIt will not stop illegal migration.
โจIt will build the machinery for a social credit system by stealth.
If ministers cared about the border, they would enforce current laws, resource patrols and processing, close loopholes and remove those with no right to stay.
โจYou do not need a national ID to do any of that.
We scrapped ID cards in 2010 for a reason.
โจBritain does not need a central register to prove age or status.
โจYes to privacy first proofs. No to a database state.
@mk_007 Cunts need to be stronger โฆ.
You got robbed because your security was shit, now youโre gonna go cry on the internet, do better.
Hope youโre well bud ๐ค
