We know from the UK eVisa scheme how Digital ID could impact people's everyday lives.
We’ll be fighting the introduction of this already expanding scheme next year to stop a digital surveillance State.

What is happening? The Government is proposing that everyone in the UK should have mandatory Digital ID cards to prove their right to work. Here's why we need to push back hard on this idea: Today it's a mandatory ID card to prove you have the right to work but in the future you might have to use it to access the NHS, to rent or buy a home, or to access benefits. These schemes ALWAYS expand. Once the infrastructure is in place, it's easy to sleepwalk into surveillance state where we constantly have to prove who we are just to go about our daily lives. It will be a bureacratic nightmare.
ORG joined 12 other rights groups urging MPs to oppose mandatory Digital ID in the UK ahead of the debate on the petition against it.
Digital ID will create a digital surveillance infrastructure that can continue to creep into every corner of our lives.

ORG warned that Henry VIII powers in the UK Data Bill could threaten electoral integrity.
Civil society and experts joined us to call for changes so a government couldn't change how political parties use our data without passing a new law.

Over 70 groups and experts backed ORG's call for an inquiry into the UK Information Commissioner's Office for their chronic failure to enforce data law.
Rules only work if they're actually enforced and it's our privacy on the line when data breaches are shrugged off.
