5 REASONS - Why a national Digital ID is nothing like your passport❌ 1. Passports prove who you are, a government Digital ID could create a record of where you go, what you do, and when📍📲 2. Passports are for travel, a government Digital ID could become essential for banking, healthcare, housing, work, and everyday life🛂🏦 3. Passports can’t monitor your movements, a Digital ID could make tracking people’s activities faster, easier, and more widespread 🚫📡 4. Lose a passport, replace it. A hacked Digital ID system could expose sensitive personal data that can’t simply be reissued🔐⚠️ 5. Passports stay in your pocket, a Digital ID lives online, increasing opportunities for data collection, tracking, and cyberattacks🧳🌐 #ScrapDigitalID #together

DIGITAL ID: "Can’t I just sign The Pledge online?" The purpose of The Pledge is to create a clear, personal statement from people who have chosen to stand behind the principles it sets out. By signing an actual piece of paper, you are taking a small physical action in the real world. There is a little more effort required, and therefore a greater sense of commitment.

"Why make The Pledge against Digital ID? Why not just decide privately that I won’t comply?" Private decisions matter, but a public commitment has much greater power The Pledge is not only to guide your own actions, but to show that there are many people who have made the same considered choice Making a public Pledge also makes it less likely that you will break your commitment at a moment of weakness – for example, when facing a deadline, pressure, or stress A similar pledge helped defeat Tony Blair’s ID cards in the 2000s - and was signed over 1 million times Find out more: togetherdeclaration.org/pledge #PledgeTogether #ScrapDigitalID
