Digital ID checkpoints could erupt across the Internet 🆔
The UK government is seeking a power grab. And it's not just social media.
Every adult will have to do ID checks to access whatever online services the government – any government – decides to restrict or curfew.

Web access must NOT be held hostage to ID checks ⚠️
We can't nod through a law giving UK Ministers free rein to block or time-limit whatever they want online.
All of us will be forced to hand over our sensitive data repeatedly to any given provider for everyday Internet use.
Tell your MP to say NO ⬇️

Take action! What’s the problem? The Government has proposed amendments to the Children Wellbeing and Schools Bill, which would give Ministers the power to restrict access to "internet services". This is supposed to give the Government the power to ban under 16s from social media but “internet services" is a very broad definition, which means any online platform can be included. The wording of the amendment means they could do this without even having to prove that these sites are harmful for children.
