A new digital ID scheme will help combat illegal working while making it easier for the vast majority of people to use vital government services. Digital ID will be mandatory for Right to Work checks by the end of the Parliament.
I trust an app made by the British government than anyone else. Hopefully they don’t subcontract it out. The British government has been known for making some things FOSS, like gov.uk
I’d rather if they made it some form of open file format. So people can make third party apps for it.
Of course they won’t make it in house, they’ll contract some company to do it as cheap as possible, and it will run like hot garbage and probably have a tone of bugs and security vulnerabilities.
Remember the track and trace app they spent £10 Billion on?
Our plan to stop people working illegally, is to require them to provide ID to their employer and if they don’t they’re breaking the law!
Absolute idiocy.
It’s worse than that.
You have to run a government app on your phone. The tracking device in your pocket that goes with you everywhere, that must run government code.

Ironically the Northern Ireland track and trace app was fine… A bit ridiculous how that app was devolved
You already had to do that. Birth ceet passport etc
That’s sort of my point, this doesn’t solve a problem that isn’t already solved.
Yes, but you have those as physical objects. This is an app you must run on your phone.
I look forward to not installing it on my non Android/apple phone
Better get a burner phone or something that sandboxes, brits.
