NO2ID

NO2ID is a single-issue group focussed on the threat to liberty and privacy posed by the rapid growth of the database state, of which “ID cards” were the most visible part. We are entirely independent and non-partisan.

National ID cards are gone. But the infrastructure survives as ‘biometric visas’ for foreign residents. Mass-surveillance has not disappeared. The coalition’s promises to “roll back the database state” are ineffectual. Indeed official demands for personal information are multiplying. Hence NO2ID continues in order to to oppose mass surveillance and data-sharing schemes, and to fight for enforceable privacy protections in law.
