I'm a Brit and I've advocated that Apple pull out of the UK over this. It annoys me that these companies seemingly have no principles and will just comply with our government's authoritarian demands. As a citizen there's nothing I can do, so it's really annoying that those who could be doing something choose to do nothing for a little extra profit.

- Which party do we vote for if we don't want the government to keep pushing digital id?

- Which party is committing to stopping facial recognition trials at London Underground stations?

Conservatives and Labour both push for the same things. With Reform's anti-immigration stance, I wouldn't bet on them finding some magical solution that doesn't involve even more demands for constant identity verification to prove you're allowed to be here.

Since last year, you now can't register a company in the UK without having your face scanned. Face scans are also now a very common requirement to open a bank account, get a tech job, buy a property, rent a property. I don't recall being asked to vote on that?

If you vote Democrat next election, will the US stop taking the fingerprints of every visitor upon entry?

All the political parties are completely apathetic about these sorts of issues.

The notion of democracy is used to justify and legitimise things that people don't get to vote on.
