Are we really going to Targeted and Dynamic Mass Surveillance, Personal Data collection and storage ?
Because that's what Digital ID does!
It allows Every Intelligence agency in the world to target anyone with a digital ID and track the activity through transactional analysis of where, when and why they are using that ID. Over time this information is collected to allow behavioural analysis of the subject being tracked. Other data sources such as social media, online activity and financial records are added to form a complete profile of a persons life that details, everything from what they eat to what their history is with the police, to the last thing they had an argument about.

This is possible without Digital ID Cards, it's just more expensive to create a targeted system as this would need to be done through AI facial and Gait recognition and Behavioural analysis embedded into cameras in citys.
Digital ID Cards allow the same function but save the 2.8billion that it would cost to upgrade the UK's Survillence infostructure to include AI facial and gait recognition and behavioural analysis in order to impliment Targeted Survillence.
The reason it is Dynamic, is because it is large scale, and sharable internationally.

An entire international group can be targeted, through there Digital ID's, in any country, for surveillance and data collection!

While the System has benefits for Anti-terrorism those benefits require the mass surveillance and data collection of all, before they are seen.

Don't forget, Every telecommunication device has a microphone, speaker combination and minimum and usually a camera connected to a circuit with a Bi-poler Junction Transistor, a receiver, a load and a switch.

The reciever provides an output which is connected to the transistor's base, the load is connect in series to the transistors emitter and ground, the switch is a low voltage frequency sent to the device along either a powerline or a signal sent through a Registered Jack. The load is the microphone, or the camera, or both depending on circuit configuration.

Intelligence agencies are able to activate these components in electronic devices even if the device is powered of as long as the device is plugged in and the socket on the wall turned on, or the device has battery power.

In fact standard battery power monitors in mobile devices omit 10%, which primarily serves for emergency call purposes, but also ensures intelligence gathering companies can turn on your microphone, camera or both when ever they want.

It may be illegal, but it does not stop them doing it.

Edward Snowden, only forced the CIA to relocate a project of their's, designed for Mass Surveillance and Personal Data Collection, because he embarased them by forcing them to appear infront of a tribunal at which they denied the existence of it.
They simply moved it to A51 along with several other Mass Surveillance programs.

The UK's Brit card scheme is a rework of the CIA's program, only this time by integrating mass surveillance with an ID scheme the Government has found away to legalise Targeted and Dynamic Mass Servillance through making Digital ID a necessity for the Right to Work in Britan.

If that's the kind of country your ok with living in, then ask yourself why we are not an ally with China !
