Digital checkpoints will crop up all over the Internet after UK MPs backed new powers to expand age verification. The only way to block under-16s is to run checks on everybody. That's millions more people having to hand over personal data to unregulated providers just to access everyday services.

Papers, please! Digital ID age checks have taken another lunge forward. UK MPs have agreed to new powers to expand age verification across online platforms. More and more everyday web services will be locked behind digital checkpoints, despite the serious privacy and security risks of this system.

“In less than a year, we’ve gone from proposals to check ID for porn to the prospect of checking ID to access social media or unlock everyday features such as livestreams or feeds. These online ID systems put both children and adults’ sensitive data at risk.” 🗣️ @JamesBaker@social.openrightsgroup.org for ORG. #ageverification #digitalid #socialmedia #socialmediaban #freedomofexpression #childrensbill #privacy #ukpoltics #ukpol

The UK Parliament continues to pursue an approach to online safety that doesn't work. The Australian under-16 social media ban has failed to make any difference and people have sought ways around it. Digital ID age checks come at the cost of everyone's privacy and free expression. The math ain't mathing. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/most-australian-teens-admit-social-111400429.html #ageverification #digitalid #socialmedia #socialmediaban #freedomofexpression #childrensbill #privacy #ukpoltics #ukpol

The problem of online harms lies with the underlying business models of social media platforms. Digital ID age checks do nothing to change that. We need to disrupt the advertising-driven business models built on surveillance, profiling and maximising engagement.

“When you create a law, you have to think about what a future government could do with those powers." Ministers would have unilateral powers to lock what they see as 'harmful' behind digital ID checks. This could end up being used on LGBTQ+ and reproductive health content. 🗣️ ORG's James Baker. https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-eyes-sweeping-powers-to-regulate-tech-without-parliamentary-scrutiny/ #onlinesafety #digitalid #privacy #freedomofexpression #ageverification #ukpolitics #ukpol

🚨 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. Tell your MP to stop this broad and repressive law ⬇️ https://action.openrightsgroup.org/no-id-checks-web-access #privacy #freedomofexpression #ageverification #digitalID #onlinesafety #ukpolitics #ukpol

Viral post: Gates says no digital ID by 2028 = social isolation, he's satanic pedophile, his fall ends 2030 Agenda. Real issue: digital ID governance needs debate. Conspiracy framing makes debate impossible. When everything is satanic, nothing can be discussed. #digitalid #privacy #conspiracy
