🚨BREAKING🚨

We've just published...'Checkpoint Britain: the dangers of digital ID and why privacy must be protected'

No one voted for digital ID, and the Government has no clear mandate to implement one.

Yet we're now on the brink of having every adult in the UK forced onto one, inserting the state into our everyday lives.

Today we can reveal the major risks of barcoding Britain.

Download & read our report⬇️
bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/campaigns/no2d…Checkpoint Britain report cover
Independent @YouGov polling commissioned by us reveals...

πŸ”Έ63% of the British public DO NOT trust the government to keep their digital ID data safe

πŸ”ΈCyber attacks and privacy erosion are the top concerns associated with mandatory digital ID

Our research also reveals...

πŸ”ΈThere is little evidence to prove that a digital ID system would deter illegal immigration or employment fraud

πŸ”ΈThe government is already considering proposals that would require digital ID for employment and rent checks

πŸ”ΈIt could be used to track everyday interactions like voting online, paying bills, and shopping.Graph communicating 63% of Britons do not trust the government to keep their digital ID data safe
@YouGov πŸ†”"Digital ID would turn Britain into a checkpoint society and insert the state into our everyday interactions...

With far wider implications than the initial stated purposes of such a scheme"

🚨BREAKING: The Met Police's use of live facial recognition is UNLAWFUL - the UK's human rights regulator believes

Today we can reveal to you that the EHRC will intervene in a landmark legal challenge to #StopFacialRecognition brought by our director @silkiecarlo & Shaun Thompson, a Londoner who was falsely flagged as a criminal by this tech.

"The Equality and Human Rights Commission’s intervention in this landmark legal challenge is hugely welcome, necessary, and incredibly timely.

The rapid proliferation of invasive live facial recognition technology without any legislation governing its use is one of the most pressing human rights concerns in the UK today...

Given this crucial ongoing legal action, the Home Office and police’s investment in this dangerous and discriminatory technology is wholly inappropriate and must stop.”

– Rebecca Vincent, Interim Director [@rebecca_vincent]Image
No other democracy in the world spies on its population with live facial recognition in such a cavalier and chilling way.

Help us urgently #StopFacialRecognition - our fundamental rights are at stake.

🚨YOUR passport photo has secretly been turned into a facial recognition police mugshot - putting everyone's privacy at risk.

πŸ“’ We can announce today that we're set to pursue legal action against the Home Office & Met Police alongside @privacyint.

READ | telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…Image
πŸ’₯NEW: We’ve obtained freshΒ documents that reveal the number of facial recognition searches of the passport database SURGED from just 2 in 2020 to 417 in 2023.

This means that the Government is allowing police to search over 58 million photographs.

Nobody signed up for this.
"This astonishing revelation shows both our privacy and democracy are at risk from secretive AI policing, and that members of the public are now subject to the inevitable risk of misidentifications and injustice.

Police officers can secretly take photos from protests, social media, or indeed anywhere and seek to identify members of the public without suspecting us of having committed any crime.

This is an historic breach of the right to privacy in Britain that must end. We’ve taken this legal action to defend the rights of tens of millions of innocent people in Britain" - @silkiecarlo

🚨 BREAKING 🚨

Iceland's rollout of facial recognition is chilling ❄️

Thousands of people will have their privacy rights violated just to buy basic necessities, and Iceland will turn its shoppers into suspects, making them submit to a biometric identity check as part of their daily lives.

Just last week we saw @Facewatch embroiled in a scandal when its dystopian tech was used to falsely accuse a woman of shoplifting, and throw her out of the store.

@icelandrichard should abandon this rollout and put its customers' privacy first, and the government must act to rein in the uncheck expansion of this intrusive technology.

#StopIcelandSpyingImage of Iceland store, with text that reads Iceland to begin scanning customers' faces using live facial recognition
The technology is provided by @Facewatch, a company whose system was linked to the wrongful accusation and ejection of a mum from a Home Bargains store earlier this month

theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…
@Facewatch Facewatch has also been investigated by the UK data watchdog, the Information Commissioner, who concluded last year that the firm had breached data protection laws on 8 different counts.

β€œThe #Horizon scandal is a very recent reminder of how computer systems don’t always get it right”

@Helen_Whately brings up the Horizon scandal & questions how much the plans will cost banks. However, she says Conservative Party is broadly in favour of the intrusive powers as a continuation of their own policies.
"Last June an AI algorithm, incorrectly identified people that were potentially behaving fraudulently"

@Debbie_abrahams brings up similar recent examples of the dangers these powers pose, adding "that is really serious"
