Keep digital IDs voluntary to protect our freedoms


Keep digital IDs voluntary to protect our freedoms
The Issue
As a mother, I want my child to grow up in a world where their freedoms and rights are protected, without the fear of government overreach. The government's plan to impose mandatory digital IDs is alarming. It's not just a threat to our privacy; it risks creating a pervasive system of control, compromising personal data security and our ability to choose.
This scheme is a threat to democracy and civil liberties — once lost, our freedoms may never return.
Digital IDs could centralise vast amounts of personal data, increasing the risk of breaches and misuse. Imagine a world where every action is tracked, where personal data can be accessed without your consent. Is this the legacy we want to leave for future generations?
Moreover, not everyone has equal access to digital tools. The elderly, the disabled, and other vulnerable groups could be unfairly excluded from essential services. It is shocking to think that people could be denied work or housing because they cannot access a digital ID.
Identity should never be a barrier to essential rights. We demand that digital IDs remain voluntary, ensuring strong protections and viable alternatives for everyone. We must safeguard the freedom to live, work, and rent without the looming shadow of surveillance.
Join me in urging the government to keep digital IDs voluntary. Let’s protect our privacy, our freedoms, and our equality. Sign this petition today to show your support for a society free from mandatory digital identities. Together, we can make a difference. Please sign the petition and make your voice heard.
