The UK Government has begun rolling out a national digital ID, supposedly voluntary, but in reality becoming unavoidable.
Under new rules, employers are being urged to verify workers through digital ID apps on their phones. Technically, no one is forced to sign up.
But in practice, the system gives companies strong incentives to adopt digital checks, leaving ordinary people with little choice but to comply.
To enrol, British workers must scan their passport or licence and record a live selfie video.
Private "Digital Identity Service Providers" then run facial-recognition software to confirm the match and store a biometric template- a digital map of the person's face - for future checks.
Critics warn this creates a national ID system by stealth.
