🚨 ID checks to get online could become the new norm 🚨
A new amendment would give the UK government sweeping powers to block access to lawful information and communications.
That's unless we submit our identification to a bounty of providers.

No ID Checks for Web Access
Take action! What’s the problem? The Government has proposed amendments to the Children Wellbeing and Schools Bill, which would give Ministers the power to restrict access to "internet services".Open Rights Group

All without having to prove sites are harmful for children.
They don’t just cover social media, but all 'Internet services’ – blogs, websites, online games and more.
This is overreach.

If you don't, you could face blocks or time restricted curfews.
These powers could be used by any government in the UK to restrict access to almost any online service you could imagine.

in reply to Open Rights Group • • •This is no longer about banning under-16s from social media.
It’s about control over all information and forcing adults to go through digital ID checks to access the Internet.
Forcing us to submit our identity or biometric data to an array of different providers poses significant privacy risks.

in reply to Open Rights Group • • •It's also about making a barrier to entry for new providers that (mostly Amerikaanse) BigTech have already cleared, thus allowing them to corner the market. #fuckBigTech

Protect the children is always the excuse to destroy privacy.
they actually don't care at all about children, for proof their representative in the US was a pedophile.
