Digital ID age checks have taken another lunge forward. UK MPs have agreed to new powers to expand age verification across online platforms.
More and more everyday web services will be locked behind digital checkpoints, despite the serious privacy and security risks of this system.

“In less than a year, we’ve gone from proposals to check ID for porn to the prospect of checking ID to access social media or unlock everyday features such as livestreams or feeds.
These online ID systems put both children and adults’ sensitive data at risk.”

The UK Parliament continues to pursue an approach to online safety that doesn't work.
The Australian under-16 social media ban has failed to make any difference and people have sought ways around it.
Digital ID age checks come at the cost of everyone's privacy and free expression. The math ain't mathing.

The problem of online harms lies with the underlying business models of social media platforms.
Digital ID age checks do nothing to change that.
We need to disrupt the advertising-driven business models built on surveillance, profiling and maximising engagement.

@openrightsgroup The solution to kids falling in abandoned wells was to close up the wells.
The solution to kids getting locked in refrigerators was to change how refrigerators work.
The solution to kids being poisoned by unregulated food was to clean up the food supply.
ID checks are the last thing you try, not the first, because they don't work very well and represent a higher burden on everybody except the bad actors.

I agree here, banning under 16s will, for the most part delay their exposure to the harmful/toxic content, so pretty much wrap them up on cotton wool, they turn 16 and their Social feeds will be full of harmful content. We need to deal with the content.
But I also agree that this is also now being used to force through digital ID via the backdoor, something nobody wants.

So how do we turn this in to real action then, as we found in Australia kids will find ways around everything, how to reach out and help them with that. Lets put some teen rebel hats and work with them to fight back,
Youth services won't help with this, as they will want to be seen as compliant, we need a rebellion of people to do stuff, that the government can't stop us doing.
With the old web of trust, I would print off a gpg key, take this to key signing and give this to another user, show my ID and job done, they know that key belongs to me.
Lets find a way to do stuff and help / support youngsters do the same.
