Together Declaration

"The final legacy of Starmer is to (force feed us the BBC version of events via social media). "I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but my God!" - Claire Fox

Larry Ellison - one of the world’s richest men - has poured more than £230m into the Tony Blair Institute TBI is one of the loudest advocates for state-run Digital ID Despite Andy Burnham scrapping Digital ID, they’re still trying to bring it in through many different routes forcing people into digital verification just to participate in society So who’s really steering the agenda?

(ONE LOGIN) NON-DIGITAL GUARANTEE: We call for a clear statutory safeguard ensuring that participation in any digital identity system such as One Login remains strictly voluntary People must retain full access to government interactions through non-digital and alternative channels - as a matter of resilience, as well as access - without penalty, additional cost, or any reduction in quality of service compared to digital routes These alternative routes must be genuinely equivalent in accessibility and must not be indirectly weakened, deprioritised, or phased out over time #OneLogin

Local Together members distributed hundreds of thousands of leaflets in recent months all over the UK We can influence things when we take action #together #dontidtheinternet

Scrapping the official Digital ID scheme is only the first step We must also stop other government systems evolving into a de facto Digital ID through expansion, function creep or the loss of offline alternatives #PledgeTogether #ScrapDigitalID Read more⬇️ https://togetherdeclaration.org/pledge/

4 ways to protect kids online - without government interference🔒 1. Does every child need a device at all? If you decide they do, a simple call & text phone may be enough. If internet access is needed, use smartphones with parental controls or monitored devices. Guidance is available from Protect Young Eyes. 2. Parental controls: YouTube uses Family Link/YouTube Kids, Instagram has private teen accounts and Family Centre, TikTok uses Family Pairing, WhatsApp only offers privacy settings, and Facebook uses privacy settings plus Family Centre tools. 3. Parental controls (on devices): Use Microsoft Family Safety on Windows, Screen Time on Apple devices, and Content & Privacy Restrictions on phones. Turn on Safe Search or use child‑friendly search engines like Kiddle. 4. Restrict incoming content: Most home routers let you block adult or unsafe sites for every device by using parental, control settings or adding sites to a blocklist. #Privacy

DIGITAL ID: "I don't even have the NHS App on my phone" Scrapping the official Digital ID scheme is only the first step We must also stop other government systems evolving into a de facto Digital ID through expansion, function creep or the loss of offline alternatives This is why The Pledge still matters: not just to stop one Digital ID scheme, but to ensure the same outcome isn't reached through a different route #PledgeTogether #ScrapDigitalID (Ellie Hodges)

PRIVACY: "The destruction of privacy is always sold as 'saving children'" Naomi Brockwell👏

ONE LOGIN: "This will bring together every bit of data they have on us" - (David Davis MP) NON-DIGITAL GUARANTEE: We call for a clear statutory safeguard ensuring that participation in any digital identity system such as One Login remains strictly voluntary These alternative routes must be genuinely equivalent in accessibility and must not be indirectly weakened, deprioritised, or phased out over time #OneLogin

"How does one prove that you are an adult? People are really worried this is Digital ID by the back door" - Zia Yusuf We are told this is about "protecting children from social media" But the practical direction of travel points somewhere else: Access to services will depend on proving age or identity, and anonymous users - if they are not shut out entirely - will increasingly be treated as suspect #together #dontidtheinternet

"Privacy is power - and they don't want you to have any" Edward Snowden

A “social media ban for children” will ultimately mean ID checks for all of us before we can speak online. There is nothing safe about a society where ordinary people must be identified, monitored, and recorded simply to participate. #dontidtheinternet
