The Labour government's favourite Digital ID scheme was hacked

People are worried the government's Digital ID scheme will open Britons up to increased security risks - as Estonia just showed

apparently the digital IDs in estonia are mandatory for healthcare, banking, voting, online education and public transit. it is estonia that the UK are planning to model, so we can be sure that is where this ID is going, they are saying it out loud.
I'm sure the ID is "safe and effective"

Almost 3M now but it has slowed right down.

Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards

We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.

Even if they cannot achieve it, or it's totally unapplicable, it would be good if everyone who signed the petition were to write to each relevant department/agency (DVLA, Passport, etc) saying that they withdraw their consent for their data to be used for the digital ID purposes.

You can write to the king and demand a personal sponge bath, it will be just as effective.

What's an authentication app or two factor authentication and where do you get a live face scan ---- you are talking gobbledygook

My point here is - how the heck are they going to get everyone to have this on their phone if you have to go through all this malarkey.

It's not much more than internet banking. Do you need me to explain that one too?

It’s not quantum physics.

Yes then do 10 million other people.
No doubt there will be a quango involved to help people with the chief executive earning £250k pa.

Please explain how you think by using two factor authentication, whether that is linked to this topic or in general, is malarkey?

It may as well be for everyone over 50.
