From red tape to red flags, Britain’s compulsory Digital ID

The UK government, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, has unveiled plans for a mandatory digital ID system that will be required for all citizens and residents seeking employment. This announcement, made at the Global Progress Action Summit, raises concerns about privacy and accessibility, as individuals without a digital ID will be barred from working in the UK. The move has sparked debate about the implications for civil liberties and the potential for increased government surveillance, making it a significant issue for many.
