@MagicMonies888@SydneyJones_ Not sure what you think ID is. Passports, provisional, driving license. All government issued ID. So why would you be hiding it from the government man?
Morning all.
Today, I woke up to discover my phone had updated.
In IOS 26.4.2, you must put your ID into your phone to access certain features and services.
Previously, you would enter your ID when necessary, when you are accessing the specific 18+ app or website, or confirming your identity when filing a report (for example).
This is a result of the Online Harms Bill. You do not parent your own children - the government will do that for you.
This also seems to be the introduction of a digital ID.
@JamesHarvey2503@SydneyJones_ Just click confirm now ffs, it’ll just check your Apple wallet and confirm it based on your cards. You all over react without even trying it.
Do NOT update your iphone. You will be greeted with this when you log-in.
This is part of the UK governments Digital ID framework - Privacy is officially a thing of the past.

@Whezzel@globalpicka@JamesHarvey2503@SydneyJones_ What will the government want to do with my credit card number and pin? Every online purchase knows my credit card number, name and CV and can just use it when they like, but they can’t, guess why? It is ILLEGAL.
I guess personal information isn't worth protecting? Whats your credit card number and pin?
You miss the point. Right now it's just age, but it will evolve and require you to give up more and more identifiying information just to use a device you own. Enough is never enough for the governemt, they always want more.
@critithinkstar@CarlPantheist@JamesHarvey2503@SydneyJones_ That’s absolutely fine haha, I’d expect the same thing. I just think people are expecting them to be monitoring everyone like a security room with 70 million screens. I’m not trying to say you shouldn’t want privacy but it’s how outlandish people being
@Nomadic77F1@CarlPantheist@JamesHarvey2503@SydneyJones_ I lock the door when I take a shit. Not because I’m doing anything illegal I just don’t want to share everything I do with the state and corporations.
Same goes for apps, payment cards, membership cards etc.
Very naive to think the data collected is used for your benefit
@Nomadic77F1@JamesHarvey2503@SydneyJones_ if you think this is overreacting, you are very wrong dude, this is NOT NORMALand they don’t own us! and THE BEST option is to stop automatic updates! and never to do that again, it works for all this new bullshit.
@Nomadic77F1@globalpicka@JamesHarvey2503@SydneyJones_ The UK doesnt have freedom of speech. That's precisely why you can be arrested for calling someone a faggot or retard online, you retard.
What a joke though. "I have nothing to hide so they can just come right into my house". Do you lock your front door when you leave the house?
@KollegahderBos7@CarlPantheist@JamesHarvey2503@SydneyJones_ If this comes into play, it’s not like they are going to just deplete the bank account of the average Joe. You need to do something specifically illegal for them to decide to freeze your bank account
@globalpicka@JamesHarvey2503@SydneyJones_ I will agree that freedom of speech should absolutely always be a thing. But majority of people who were arrested or sanctioned for their political views did more than just say something online. There is always more to the story than is shown.
@Nomadic77F1@JamesHarvey2503@SydneyJones_ 'If you ain't doing nuffing wrong' lol. When the DNA rollout comes too, you'll repeat the same lines. Define 'clean'. The precedent has already been set where they can sanction your for views on government foreign policy and have your bank accounts frozen.
@TuubCrypto@CarlPantheist@JamesHarvey2503@SydneyJones_ 🤷♂️ it can monitor me. They’ll be bored of watching me watching football and playing games with my couple free hours. Maybe they’ll get my boss to pay me more for how much I work.
@DpacOP@_BlissfulBruno@JamesHarvey2503@SydneyJones_ 😂 I’m the same. I need to get myself a provisional or learn to drive just so I have another form of ID. I feel a bit daft pulling my passport out all the time
@CarlPantheist@JamesHarvey2503@SydneyJones_ What you expecting to happen? Unless you’re a criminal, you shouldn’t be scared of these things 🤷♂️. I’d rather be safe and protected than having a bunch of foil hats screaming at me
@globalpicka@JamesHarvey2503@SydneyJones_ 🤷♂️ what do you think they’re gonna do to me? I’m a clean, day to day person. They’re gonna come raid my house cause they know my name and age?
