💸 There used to be this thing called 'cash' you could use to pay for parking.
✅ It's also pretty handy at helping to prevent digital fraud.
🙏 Maybe it should make a comeback for all of our sakes.

"DCMS refused to confirm whether it even holds figures on devices containing sensitive data"
Also Govt: 'don't worry, the data is encrypted'.
Yes, just like the 25 million DWP details 'lost' by courier on *encrypted disks* in 2007.
And these people want modern digital governance?

🚨UK digital drivers licenses [mDLs] are almost ready for national deployment.
🆔 The process would involve going through One Login [digital ID verification] to onboard with the GOV.UK Wallet.

- Full names and contact details: 100,000+ officers and other staff
- Data include officials from MoD, Home Office, NCA, CPS.
- Source of breach: The Police National Legal Database [this is not the Police National Database]
- Same group responsible for DfE breach last week, 607,000 records from two portals.
Still trusting the government with a national digital ID scheme underpinned by One Login?

Not a good week for Data Breach Britain.
- Dept. for Education: 607,000 records pulled from two portals incl. details of govt officials.
- UKGI: 51 govt officials details left exposed for 40hrs.
Cybersecurity resilience must be the #1 priority, not One Login [digital ID verification].

❌ Britons don't like centralised state identity systems
❌ Britons don't like National ID [analogue or digital]
❌ The state had at least 20 years to modernise infrastructure and strengthen cybersecurity resilience.
❌ The state dream of modern digital governance is not achievable

607,000 records pulled from two systems: Turing Scheme & Help Desk portals.
Names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, job titles of education sector contacts including government officials.

The ransomware group ExfilSquad also claim to have parent and staff contact records from the Help Desk portal at DfE.
And just how is a UK national digital ID system viable with such serious breaches?

Zuckerberg (2004) People just submitted it. I don't know why. They 'trust me'. Dumb fucks.
Meta said that facial data generated for the comparison would be deleted after the match was completed.
Don't do it. Don't be the dumb fuck.

🆔 It takes seconds for experienced bar staff to perform an age-check with a physical ID at a busy pub as compared to the faff involved in a digital age-check using a phone.
🤖 In terms of privacy and security, legal ID should always be decoupled from a smartphone.

"Neither claim has been confirmed by a minister, a government department or a press office speaking on the record.
No written ministerial statement, departmental announcement or further transcript has addressed either policy since those two reports."

"...the minister highlighted that "the UK is now the most targeted country in Europe for cyber attacks."
Again, if your country is the most targeted in Europe, why persist building a new national identity system that could be a main target.

🆔 Performative governance. They also know that age-gating or general regulation of VPNs would be a huge technical & legal challenge to enforce.
❌ They also know that if they lean too hard on social media, it will further erode their broader One Login/GOV.UK ID plans.

PearGuard is an example of many tools out there to support parents and allow them to manage device screen time and app access.
Not only that, PearGuard has no analytics, tracking, telemetry or central server.
Parents should take control, not governments.

This is a fantastic and informative guide by @AureaLibe on exiting EU Chat Control.
Even if you're not based in the EU or consider yourself great with tech, this is well worth the read. Bookmark it.

The biggest takeaway here is the vulnerability of UK systems to severe data-breaches.
So the question is; why are the government continuing to build and push a National Digital ID system based on such vulnerable infrastructure.
Additionally, the article from The Telegraph is also very misleading. The attack was widespread and not specific to the UK.
Not only is there no conclusive evidence of state involvement, but any number of sophisticated cyber groups could write their code in Russian Cyrillic.

🚨 Giving Palantir and staff from other firms unlimited access to identifiable patient data before it is pseudo-anonymised is completely and utterly unacceptable.
🤖 What happens if there is a serious supply-chain hack and databreach with one of these firms?

It reads like a parody, but it's not.
The wife of Piers Morgan is happy to have her face scanned every second of the day to help solve Britain's crimewave.
Do these people actually think before they type? Clearly not.

The image is fake but the concerns about such ID requirements in the future are real and understandable, especially in British society.
Such signage is not popping-up all over London nor represents our current situation.
Better framing from the original poster of this content would be to explain that this is a potential future that we would all like to avoid.

What media are not reporting on Blair's Lifespan Fund is that it would be connected to a Lifespan app on your mobile device, use centralised digital ID verification and become integrated with GOV.UK, HMRC and NHS digital records.
Isn't it time Tony Blair and his Institute 'must go'?
