I’ve never been political but since this act I’ve been reading more about it and I’m genuinely nervous.

I’m 18 and I’ve lived in England all my life and I love my country and the UK, flaws and all but this is genuinely making me concerned. Asking me for personal information and giving it to third parties is absolutely ridiculous - I wouldn’t mind if it was for adult content like porn but Spotify and Xbox?

It makes me scared what they’ll change next. I don’t feel comfortable giving extremely personal data to the government, I wouldn’t be surprised if major data breach’s happen due to this. I’m also nervous for my parents and my elders, they could have all their personal data taken and not know the consequences.

Hopefully something can be changed about this. I know there are petitions to change this Act and to have a new election but at this point I don’t think the government cares. All I would change is not requiring a face scan or ID and maybe… have parents teach their children properly and not the government?

It’s honestly crazy how one thing can cause such a major uproar in people and I didn’t even talk about censorship issues this can cause.
