🚨 LAST CHANCE 🚨 The UK government's online safety consultation closes TODAY. We must push back against more and more online ID checks. Making every adult hand over sensitive data to unregulated providers is itself UNSAFE. Let's take on Big Tech business models instead!

1 DAY TO GO ⏰️ 💭 Tell the UK government to rethink online safety. ❌️ Creating a privacy timebomb with surveillance-based information blockades isn't the way. ✅️ We need user choice and better platform design, NOT mandatory ID checks. Have your say on a better way by 26 May ➡️ https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/growing-up-in-the-online-world-a-national-consultation #onlinesafety #ageverification #digitalID #privacy #interoperability #bigtech #ukpolitics #ukpol
