… but why?
And who the fuck is Lisa Nandy?? Bit of a shit article, BBC.
Luckily, UK govt will adopt Sam Altman’s Orb and everyone can probe who they are by eye scan. O Brave New World…
God, you can’t sell anyone these days.
I’m surprised they left Epstein-bay open after seizing Epstein Island
What next, ID verification required to open an Argos catalogue? Go into Tesco? Although, Tesco already charge you more if you are under 18 as children can’t join their card system
Shhh… Dont give them new ideas. I mean they’re already following 1984 by the book.
Side note, loyalty systems are a capitalist sham that should effectively be scrapped.
Can under-18s hold many loyalty discount cards? I expect co-op stores allow it from 16, as they’ve been supporting votes at 16 for years.
Its due to laws on data harvesting on children. If coop doesn’t harvest that data then they could give them to children too. Tbh more people should probably be mad at Tesco for harvesting that data, but they don’t.
Yeah, co-op are likely being all ethical again. Or trying to.
Look at the checkout conveyor dividers in Morrisons some time: they literally say “Morrisons More Card: more conveyor snooping” or something similar. People just don’t realise the cost.
Aldi don’t have cards at all which I quite like about them
Can we seriously look at banning this government? Greens seem sensible enough.
I’ll take the greens. Only candidate in the last election who has done anything beneficial to society. Last I saw her she was taking part in a clean up at the local beach.
Labour candidate was a gymbro. Libdem hadn’t bothered to update his profile since running in a previous election over 100 miles away, Tory is current MP and voted to allow water companies to endlessly dump sewage on the beach. She is also a fucking moron (or happy to pander to far right hate mobs) based on the few posts I have heard of from her.
Meanwhile the public are looking seriously at whether the government has completely lost the plot.
Naughty children! How dare they shop!
Just ban the internet at this point.
“Our official position is that the internet is for adults so don’t let your mum catch you” would solve all this silly shit
Seriously, this is getting out of hand. Pure authoritarianism is what this is, constantly nagging and nagging and people are naive enought to trust such motives.
This was the intention all along.
That, and MasterCard and VISA wanted more businesses to use card authentications for age checks. Businesses have been skipping authentication to save on fees, and they knew that even if other technology came along they’d still get a few more. Literally, the OSA only vaguely describes ID or face scanning (because the technology didn’t really exist at the time), but spells out card transactions as the default method of age verification.
