Waag | European digital ID wallets are a gift to Google and Apple
European governments are rolling out digital identity wallets, which are to be used by citizens to access services, and to verify their age online. There is a serious problem with this: these wallets rely on safety services of Google and Apple.Waag Futurelab
Capitalist definition of progress, perhaps ?!
Enshittification of the #internet #censorship happening at a mass scale in the guise of #digitalid and #ageverification 😐
So to summarize, AI will cause personal computers to cost ten thousand dollars, all applications will be forever be frozen to about 2025 design and implementation (because that’s what vibe coding outputs), power to run the computer will be twice the price and also you need to sign in with your passport to start your computer in the first place.Explain to me again how this is progress?
Digital ID
"No one disputes that the internet can hurt kids. That grief is real, but it's being exploited. Here is the trick: to confirm that a child is not present, a service has to check everybody. Every adult passes through the checkpoint. A law written about sixteen-year-olds quietly becomes an identity requirement for the entire internet. "
Never Give Them Your Face
They are not verifying your age. They are building a permanent identity checkpoint over public life. Here is why to refuse.nevergivethemyourface.com
The future Musk wants is the Technocracy / AI #digitalID surveillance grid. He gets this by creating civil war (the tool) and then selling the #uk government his Technocracy (as the solution) The Technocracy will crack down on these violent thugs along with everyone else
He also wants USA to become the Technate, so no special relationship with UK & again to cut off UK he creates civil war, after which UK is ripe for pillage and plunder, vassal state becomes slave state

The UK PM has just announced an under-16 social media ban.
This is the 'Trojan Horse' in action. You cannot enforce a ban without an Age Verification layer, and you can’t have Age Verification without a National Digital ID or bio-metric database. They are using the 'child safety' card to build a mandatory surveillance gate for the entire internet.
Between the new taxes and the constant bans, it’s clear this government has zero respect for personal agency or digital sovereignty. If you aren't already moving your data off the cloud and into your own home lab, start now. The gap between our current society and a total surveillance state just got a whole lot smaller.

Banning under-16s online restricts access to information while creating huge privacy risks.
Instead the UK government should target the root cause of online harms.
That means tackling the business model of social media platforms – from targeted ads and algorithms to user lock-in.

Break Big Tech: Dismantle the root cause of online harms
Platforms like X, Facebook and Instagram harvest our personal data so that they can target us with ads. Their platforms are designed to keep us online, pushing out content that will keep us engaged.38 Degrees
Age verification is being extended to block vast areas of the Internet.
That means millions of people handing over ID documents and biometric data to unregulated providers.
It becomes a treasure trove for hackers, as has already been seen since introducing age checks with the Discord data leak.

A social media ban addresses the symptoms, not the cause of online harms.
Platforms rely on extensive data collection to target ads and keep users online for longer.
Algorithms prioritise content most likely to capture attention and drive interaction, spreading harmful, polarising and addictive content.

An under-16s ban means making every adult prove they're over 16 for access.
The data shared for age verification can also be used by platforms and the wider data broker ecosystem to send you ads and customised content.
It's a policy that fuels the very business model that generates online harms.
