LordVile My issue isn’t that they want ID, it’s that I have to give my ID to every company. It’s almost like digital ID would have solved this. That being said I’d be happier giving my ID to someone like nord once than everyone else multiple times Reply

Shiznizzle EU citizens have access to a government app that will dish out tokens to providers of content so no personal info needs to be given. This is an open source app but it was breached within hours. Fine, its in beta state and will eventually do as it should without leaking…..hopefully. But for me this is even more sinister as the recipient of what i do is my own government. They are keeping tabs on what we do in the UK almost as good a china does with its citizens. No more nanny state. Is it the state's responsibility to decide who gets to use what app or do the parents have any responsibility for their kids at all? Reply

Security and cryptography are not things you leave for beta testing. They're things that needs to be designed correctly by experts in the field from the start, or the entire basis of your platform is a false promise. Reply

thesyndrome Things like this are why Labour recently lost big in the recent elections: no one asked to have a 1984 Big Brother system monitoring everything we do online under the guise of "child safety" which is solved in a much better way by educating parents on firewalls and parental controls per-app. We're likely going to end up with a pseudo-fascist government like the USA just because Labour kept making terrible decisions like this….
