They fucked it up in EU though they only make it available to EU citizens so non-EU residents still need old school take a pic of your passport type of nonsense

Edit: or rather they only mandate that govts have to make it available to EU citizens, so Germany for example will not let anyone not from EU use it. Nordics have had eID for 20 years and it’s available to anyone who lives here (and it’s needed to live tbh)

From 2027 it's all changing and opening it to residents is part of that; in fact if you need for use cases like right to work permission it's the only way it can work.

How what works?

Gwan. I love an ID&V convo. Edumacate me

The credentials are held on your device and you share what you need to share and nothing more, so PII isn't passed just binary approved/not approved. The government control is on giving an individual rights and permissions in the first place, but they can do that anyway.

Sounds like a zero knowledge proof system at work - where you have the ability to prove whatever you're trying to prove without revealing any actual information.

Yeah, but if they mandate that you need to give them this info to access <insert service here> you're still ponying it over.

But then, up-front at least they don't have a centralised database of your PII.

Ta.

Out of interest do you hold a UK issued passport? Isn't that a massive Government held ID database? Yes you can opt in or out when it comes to applying for a 1st ever passport or a renewal but if the latter I bet they never remove expired passport data. Oh and it holds a certified picture of you.

Not seeing the uproar apart from the missing thing which is you are not required to carry this form of ID on you at all times.

You're not necessarily giving up anything if they ask a binary yes/no question and you can answer it without giving any details. Like "are you over 18?" - by answering yes you're not saying how old you are. I mean I guess you're giving up the fact that you're over 18 but you're not giving away as much info as if you'd showed a physical piece of ID.

Tried for criminal damage, but sentenced as terrorists.

A jury would never have found them guilty if the trial was a terrorism trial.

Pro-Palestine activists sentenced as terrorists over damage at Israeli arms factory in UK

Four found guilty will face tougher conditions as judge says actions were ‘designed to intimidate the UK government and a section of the public’

It's a terrifying national disgrace.

This is the sort of shit that will happen all the time without jury trials.
