UK Collaborates With UN for Big Tech Inclusion in Project Linking Digital ID To Bank Accounts
Global Digital Compact is the UN’s overarching plan for a “digital future” that includes several controversial elements.
Despite the serious controversies arising from Big Tech/government “coordination” (lawsuits in the US say, it’s actually “collusion”), this concept seems to be taken as normal behavior in the UK.
Currently, Home Secretary James Cleverly (whose department is in charge of the police) is in Silicon Valley for talks with representatives of Google, Meta, and Apple. And in New York City, he will be meeting those from X.
Reports are saying that the purpose of Cleverly’s US trip is to “discuss how the UK government and tech players can work together to tackle a number of challenges facing democracies in the digital age.”
But few things scream, “public benefit” less than what the initiative in reality aims to achieve: summed up, it’s introduction of digital ID, linked to user bank accounts.
Both for democracy and free speech advocates, and repressively-acting governments, the 2022 trucker protest in Canada was an excellent showcase of how legitimate dissent can be stifled by cutting people off from their money.
