💷 Government under fire over plans to take money DIRECTLY from benefit recipients' bank accounts - including in cases of its own errors.
“We should not be giving the government powers to go behind our backs and pilfer through our bank accounts, especially when the purpose is not just to tackle serious fraud but to correct accounting errors" - Jasleen Chaggar

The Times' Crime and Justice Commission - at a summit sponsored by surveillance company Axon - has today called for live facial recognition and digital ID to be introduced.
🤢 Tony Blair told the Commission that these Orwellian technologies are a "necessity"
This obsession with AI-powered surveillance reeks of authoritarianism & would be a hammer blow to our civil liberties (just have a read of the article's comments to see how this has gone down...)
The proposals include:
🔸 Mandatory digital ID (an authoritarian proposal that the British people have rejected time and again)
🔸 The expansion of live facial recognition (recently partially banned in the EU and used by authoritarian countries to suppress dissent)
We all want serious crime tackled and justice to prevail, but building a surveillance state where privacy is threatened like never before is not the answer.
