00:00This is planned for Great Britain now, and the rest of the world is in the crosshairs as well.
00:05This is your wake-up call.
00:07The British government is pushing forward with plans for a national digital ID system.
00:12They've called it the BRIT card, and if that name doesn't send a chill down your spine,
00:16you have not been paying attention.
00:18It isn't just about proving who you are online.
00:21That all sounds rather lovely.
00:23This is about building a centralised, state-controlled, digital identity system
00:31that could be used, will be used, to link your finances, your medical history,
00:36your travel movements, your social media activity, even your social activity in real life, and more.
00:43It's quite frankly, a digital dog tag.
00:46And once it's clipped around your neck, you will not be able to take it off.
00:50So let's start with the basics.
00:51What is this BRIT card?
00:53According to leaked briefings and government statements,
00:56and frankly, any of us who've been paying attention knew this was coming,
00:59the BRIT card is going to act as a unified digital identification
01:03that every British citizen can use to access public services to prove their identity.
01:09And eventually, though they won't say this part out loud,
01:12link with your banking, your health, and your travel movements.
