It's 2012. You just got home from school around 3:30. You toss your backpack on the floor, grab a snack, and head straight to your room. You turn on your Xbox 360, hear that startup sound, sign into Xbox, and join your friend's party chat. No responsibilities, and nothing but time.

Here is what directors now face under the government’s new One Login digital ID mandate.

This is an actual screenshot from @garfen, a director who tried to verify his identity:

If you fail the automated One Login identity check:

You are locked out.
You get no explanation.
You get no appeal.
You get no human review.
You are given no alternative way to prove your identity.

Support cannot help you and cannot override the process.

You are told to contact the service you need but the digital ID barrier remains.

And this is not a rare bug.

This is the official process.

You risk being fined or struck off as a director for failing to comply with a system that gives you no recourse if it gets it wrong.

This is a fundamental breach of data protection and human rights laws:

GDPR Article 12 requires an effective remedy and clear information.

GDPR Article 22 gives you the right to human intervention and an explanation for automated decisions.

The Human Rights Act guarantees a fair process and effective remedy for decisions that affect your rights and livelihood.

Yet the government is forcing everyone to use this broken system with known, unresolved security holes and no route for appeal or redress.

This is reckless.

This is unlawful.

And it is already locking people out of their legal obligations as company directors.

It is time to demand answers from @CompaniesHouse, @GDSTeam, and @ICOnews

Not Safe, Not Secure

#NoToDigitalID

[Julia Lopez MP @JuliaLopezMP]

In mandatory digital ID, Liz Kendall has been handed another of Keir Starmer's steaming messes to clear up.

To get through her Statement in parliament today, she simply talked about something else. A digital 'key' (not ID). Better online services. A world in which nobody loses a library card again.

She could hardly bring herself to mention the PM's dodgy argument about stopping illegal migration. She couldn't own up to the reality that Labour will be excluding British people from the workplace if they don't sign up to a mandatory ID. (Don't worry, everyone, they're spending £9m on an 'inclusion' plan)

Labour is choosing to cover up its mistake by suggesting their mandatory ID plan is the only way to deliver better online government services - which it's not.

MP after MP - including even the stoogier Labour ones - stood up to pick holes in the government's plan. Answers from Liz there came none. Perhaps this can be one of those cack-handed government announcements that goes quietly into the night.

[Basil the Great @BasilTheGreat]

10 Days ago Keir Starmer said Digital I.D was to stop illegal migrants.

Now they openly say it will be used for:

Applying for Jobs
Your School Records
Paying for daycare
Collect your payslips
Birth Certificates
Claim Benefits
Apply for Nursery

Hackers will know everything

[Wide Awake Media @wideawake_media]

Neil Oliver on the UK government's imminent attempt to impose mandatory digital ID:

"There's going to be mass refusal, mass non-compliance... It's going to be a disaster for them, and will probably... be what brings them down."

"Anybody that accepts a digital ID is slapping handcuffs around their own wrists."

"It's the end of freedom. It's the end of choice. It's the worst possible decision that any... freedom loving person could possibly make."

"I was pessimistic about it for a while—I'm not anymore. We've got them on this. We have them surrounded. Their arguments don't stack up. None of the reasons that they've put forward for doing this make any kind of sense."

"The very idea that this is going to tackle the people arriving by boats... is absolute nonsense. It was never supposed to do that."

"The desire to bring forward the digital ID was there years ago. And it was understood... that the British people would not accept it. So problems had to be fomented to make people desperate to accept this as a solution."

"Hence the opening up of the borders, and the mass immigration onto these shores."

"The hope has been that people would accept the digital ID as this solution to the problem. But it's entirely bogus."

"All people have to do is not comply and this thing falls flat on its face. And I am convinced that that is what's going to happen."

🚨 BREAKING — The Owner of Telegram, Patel Durov, just posted a very concerning message about Free Speech..

I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating.

Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers.

What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control.

Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU).

Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy.

A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast — while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms — and allowed them to be taken away.

We’ve been fed a lie.

We’ve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech.

By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction — moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological.

So no, I’m not going to celebrate today. I’m running out of time. We are running out of time.

[Lee Harris @LeeHarris]

Keir Starmer is STILL saying that he will introduce digital ID because 'it will stop people arriving and working illegally'.

No. It wont. But listen to what he says at the end.

'In India people have taken it up, not least because you can access your own money'.

Terrifying.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Joe Rogan’s face hardens with grief over the UK’s push for digital IDs and the arrest of citizens for social media posts.

You could tell this was taking a toll on Rogan, who delivered a blunt explanation for why this is happening:

“Once they do digital ID, they’re going to attach it to a social credit score, they’re going to attach it to a carbon footprint score, and then they’ll be able to control your movement and control you entirely.”

“If I was going to destroy a country, I would do it exactly the way they’re doing it. I’d take away their freedom, take away their ability to protest, take away their guns, which they did in the 1990s. And then you start tightening that noose tighter and tighter.”

[Wide Awake Media @wideawake_media]

Jordan Peterson warns that digital ID will usher in a tyrannical regime "so 100% complete that it would make George Orwell's 1984 look like a picnic".

"If a traffic camera catches you jaywalking in China... the digital ID system... will convict you of jaywalking... take money out of your bank account... and reduce your social credit score."

"If your social credit score falls below a certain level, then you can't buy drinks from a vending machine... You can't go on a train. You can't get out of your 15-minute city."

[Miss Jo @therealmissjo]

People seem very confused about “digital ID”.

It is not the same thing as carrying ID cards that people have in the EU. It is a wholly different beast.

It means you have a number. An identifier. Your ability to do anything can be turned off by the government at any time.

Whether that is taking a flight, buying something on Amazon or sending a parcel.

Whether that is looking at the internet, opening a bank account or accessing the NHS.

In the EU, we are rapidly moving towards a digital ID. The EU is pushing companies like Amazon to require it to make purchases or Facebook to “verify” your account. Right now it is voluntary and works mainly across government agencies - healthcare, mail service, tax authorities. But in due course it won’t be voluntary.

It does absolutely nothing to stop illegal migrants from entering the country or working in the black economy.

[Chris Littlewood @chrislittlewoo8]

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.

Criminals 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.

It links your identity to every checkpoint in daily life.

One 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.

Ransomware seeded through a supplier or an insider:

It lies quiet for months.
It rolls through the backups.
On trigger day the register and the recovery sets are both encrypted.

Payments fail. Health and benefits stall. Borders slow. Citizens are frozen out until a ransom is paid or the state rebuilds from scratch.

Centralise identity and you centralise failure.

Do not fall for the pitch.
Function creep is certain.
It starts as login.

It becomes access to money, travel, speech and public services.

It turns rights into permissions controlled by the state and its contractors.

It creates a single point of failure for criminals, insiders and hostile states to target.

It will punish the elderly, the poor and anyone who is not always online.

It will centralise risk and outsource blame.

It will not stop fraud.

It will not stop illegal migration.

It 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.

You do not need a national ID to do any of that.

We scrapped ID cards in 2010 for a reason.

Britain does not need a central register to prove age or status.

Yes to privacy first proofs. No to a database state.
