I think it's a UK thing
They have been passing legislation to basically dox their citizens for them to gain access to the internet
The Russia thanks UK for this valuable information
Yeah it's like the government want to get sued. They are better than the previous administration but that's a pretty low bar
It was obvious things like this will happen, unlike banks and government sites social media sites don't have strict cyber security requirements and they want these sites to have a government ID. It was a bad idea from the start.
Also currently being rolled out in Australia too 😔
