DIGITAL ID: "Can’t I just sign The Pledge online?"

The purpose of The Pledge is to create a clear, personal statement from people who have chosen to stand behind the principles it sets out.

By signing an actual piece of paper, you are taking a small physical action in the real world. There is a little more effort required, and therefore a greater sense of commitment.

THE PLEDGE AGAINST DIGITAL ID - HAVE YOU SENT YOURS?

From towns and cities across the UK, supporters are printing, signing and posting their Pledges Against Digital ID to Andy Burnham - showing that opposition to Digital ID is real, organised and growing.

The more Pledges that arrive, the stronger the message becomes.

Together member Peter just shared this photo of two more Pledges - one from him, one from his wife - about to go in the postbox, and many more have been in touch to say they've done the same.

Now we’re asking as many people as possible to get their Pledges in the post before Sunday.

If you’ve been meaning to send your Pledge, please do it today.

It only takes a few minutes:

1. Download your Pledge from: https://togetherdeclaration.org/pledge/

2. Print it.

3. Sign it.

4. Write SCRAP DIGITAL ID across it, or add your own personal message.

5. Put it in the post:

5 REASONS - Why a national Digital ID is nothing like your passport❌

1. Passports prove who you are, a government Digital ID could create a record of where you go, what you do, and when📍📲

2. Passports are for travel, a government Digital ID could become essential for banking, healthcare, housing, work, and everyday life🛂🏦

3. Passports can’t monitor your movements, a Digital ID could make tracking people’s activities faster, easier, and more widespread 🚫📡

4. Lose a passport, replace it. A hacked Digital ID system could expose sensitive personal data that can’t simply be reissued🔐⚠️

5. Passports stay in your pocket, a Digital ID lives online, increasing opportunities for data collection, tracking, and cyberattacks🧳🌐

4 ways to protect kids online - without government interference🔒

1. Does every child need a device at all?
If you decide they do, a simple call & text phone may be enough. If internet access is needed, use smartphones with parental controls or monitored devices. Guidance is available from Protect Young Eyes.

2. Parental controls:
YouTube uses Family Link/YouTube Kids, Instagram has private teen accounts and Family Centre, TikTok uses Family Pairing, WhatsApp only offers privacy settings, and Facebook uses privacy settings plus Family Centre tools.

3. Parental controls (on devices):
Use Microsoft Family Safety on Windows, Screen Time on Apple devices, and Content & Privacy Restrictions on phones. Turn on Safe Search or use child‑friendly search engines like Kiddle.

4. Restrict incoming content:
Most home routers let you block adult or unsafe sites for every device by using parental, control settings or adding sites to a blocklist.
