We believe this poses massive privacy risks & attacks on civil liberties, all without proper consultation. Our belief is that the Government will only be able to make this law work by requiring every British citizen to undergo extremely intrusive methods like Facial AI Scans in order to prove their age.

We believe this could lead to a backdoor for Digital ID which is extremely unpopular. One poll shows 47% opposing and 32% strongly opposing the implementation of Digital ID - This bill goes completely against the will of the British people.
