The UK government has said its proposed digital ID will be mandatory for all adults to work in the UK, prompting a fierce backlash from civil liberties groups and politicians concerned about the erosion of privacy and creeping state control.
Labor Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced the policy in a Sept. 26 news release, saying it will take “the best aspects of the digital identification systems that are already up and running around the world.”
