       At their worst, digital ID systems can enable population-wide   
   surveillance, curb liberties, predict and shape people’s decisions, or   
   be abused for the tracking and targeting of marginalised groups.   
      
       There is little evidence to prove that a digital ID system would   
   deter illegal immigration or employment fraud. It would instead burden   
   law-abiding citizens and businesses.   
      
       A digital ID system is highly likely to be used for more than just   
   its original purpose. The government is already considering proposals   
   that would require digital ID for employment and rent checks.   
      
       A digital ID could be used to track everyday interactions such as   
   voting online, paying bills, and shopping.   
      
       The eVisa system’s errors and failures raise serious doubts about   
   the government’s ability to manage a giant digital ID system.   
      
       A majority of the British public have expressed serious concerns   
   about the government’s ability to protect the vast amounts of personal   
   data collected in a digital ID scheme   
      
   Far from being a backwards outlier, the UK is in good company with   
   countries that have inherited its legal systems such as Canada,   
   Australia, and New Zealand in consistently rejecting mandatory ID   
   systems.
