UK Unveils Mandatory Digital ID Proposals

The British government has revealed plans to introduce a mandatory digital identity system for its citizens. The scheme is intended to simplify access to government services and verify identity online. The plan involves creating a secure digital identity app that will be used to prove identity online and in person-to-person transactions. Supporters of the plan argue that the system will reduce fraud and increase efficiency, while opponents express concerns about privacy and potential government surveillance. The proposals are expected to undergo public discussion before implementation.
