On 8 December, politicians in the UK will be debating a petition that reached almost 3 million signatories rejecting mandatory digital ID. If you’re based in the UK, contact your MP through Big Brother Watch’s tool to oppose the plans for a digital ID system. bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/campaigns/n...

A national digital ID system is not inevitable. We can stop Britain sleepwalking into becoming a database state. Support our campaign to create a legal right to use non-digital ID!

Police tech doesn't predict crime. It predicts policing.
