  The majority of the world considered slavery and women being subservient normal, that didn’t make it right.

  You think it’s brain dead to reject a digital ID.

  I think it’s braindead to sacrifice privacy for the sake of safety, especially when it’s so transparent that the goal is control and suppression and not “protecting the children”.

  To each his own.

  The problem is not the ID cards that other countries have. That would be reasonable, even if one could argue NINO is sufficient.

  The problem is the online/app nature if them which, in conjunction with OSA, makes it dystopian control scenario.

  I’m not ignoring those upsides that you mentioned, I just didn’t mention them or wasn’t aware. I like most of them for what it matters.

  But I do still consider OSA and digital IDs an authoritarian measures and I do find this to be of high enough importance to potentially overshadow all of the above.

  What’s the point of living in a, arguably, more socialist state if your privacy doesn’t exist? I’m not a bloody tanky and I don’t like that angle, like many others.

  His supposedly labour government has also doubled down on censoring wikipedia, calling people pedo-sympathizers for resisting absurd internet control laws that literally affect every digital facing international company, and is now promoting a digital ID straight out every digital era authoritatians or fascist’s wet dreams.

  Is he better than sunak? Probably? Kinda? That’s a very low bar though and the fact that we even talk about it is sad. Their actions have been so much unlike what people think about when voting labour parties that it’s surreal.

  People reasonably feel cheated on given the party’s supposed focus.

  They have AA off because they recommend upscaling on literally everything. Upscaling sorta acts like AA and they are not used together.

  I see, that’s fair.

  I mean this respectfully, but that wasn’t an actual answer.

  Out of legit curiosity, how many models do you know trained exclusively on public domain data, which are actually useful?

  Because it’s not about the kids.

  The UK, or any government, could instead use the money for OSA to create a protocol/mandate that phone and net providers need to adhere to, which enables parents to restrict to adult content. Heck, phone-only sims and adult traffic control administered via “parent accounts” would deal with almost the entire problem seeing how most young people use phones for internet access anyways instead of laptops and desktops.

  But it’s not about the kids. It’s about control and having an excuse to abolish privacy.
