Scotland is implementing a digital ID system, known as ScotAccount, to streamline access to government services, including healthcare, benefits and taxes.
The system raises surveillance and privacy concerns due to the centralisation of sensitive citizen data, increasing the risk of illegal access by hackers and governments.
Civil rights group Big Brother Watch is warning that the scheme could become a mandatory ID system, disadvantaging those who rely on physical documents and letters.

Scotland’s Digital ID Scheme Raises Surveillance and Privacy Concerns
A variety of attempts to establish or expedite the implementation of digital IDs and other forms of similar infrastructure, to enable unprecedented levels of centralisation of data and highly likely mass surveillance – if and when “the powers that be” decide to go for it – get a fair amount of reporting, when it comes to England and Wales.
But, what’s happening in another – and a large one at that – of UK’s countries: Scotland?
Nothing to look forward to, according to privacy campaigners. Like in so many places around the world, Scotland is in the process of implementing a digital ID system in the name of reasonable and worthy causes – such as streamlining access to government services, including key ones tied to healthcare, benefits and taxes.
But beyond the positive narratives attached to such policies, the overarching and unavoidable real-world problem with the schemes remains the same – the centralisation of massive amounts of citizens’ most sensitive data in effectively one place.
That place – i.e., the database – is then given access from across various government agencies, thus dramatically increasing the risk of illegal access, as well.
Once in place, these databases are what both common criminals, like hackers, as well as unsavory governments (both a country’s own and foreign ones), can access to cause significant harm to citizens.
Because even those actively pushing for and implementing these systems realise how controversial and potentially damaging to citizens they are, the “not mandatory disclaimer” is almost invariably attached to them.
That’s true of Scotland’s grand ambition here to include the entire population’s data into a system available to a large number of government departments.
But the Big Brother Watch civil rights group sees the rollout in Scotland as another reason to remind everyone that “a legal right to non-digital ID” is urgently needed.
“Otherwise such schemes could become a mandatory ID system in all but name, disadvantaging the millions of people in this country who rely on physical documents and letters, and cannot or choose not to use digital identity systems,” said the non-profit’s Madeleine Stone.
Stone’s comment was focused on potential harm from “criminals and hackers.”
Scotland’s push was initiated by the previous SNP government, originally dubbed “Digital Identity Scotland.”
Currently in the pilot stage – the scheme is now known as “ScotAccount.”

I would simply send any documents back with FAR COUGH written on them. That’s what I did with convid jab letters. It doesn’t take much of the population to say NO and derail such things…if they tried to exclude people, make it clear that local councils and government would be taken over.
Scotland faces significant challenges, with a large portion of its population living in deep poverty and relying heavily on the welfare state. This dire situation is compounded by the highest rates of drug and alcohol-related deaths in Europe, stemming from a long history of deindustrialization and limited opportunities. The general public appears demoralized and dehumanized, leading to a sense of hopelessness as they watch their country struggle. This feeling of apathy among the populace seems to contribute to their own downfall, making it painful to witness the decline of my nation

The game has always been “Problem ~ Reaction ~ Solution”!
They are presently destroying the dollar while introducing a digital dystopian system as all cryptos are programmable and surveillalable!
Beware folks as the money changers want us all to offer up our “digital IDs” when they crash the present fiat cash system and hand us an AI driven digital dystopian surveillance system riding on blockchain!
Please listen to this bankster tell us in 38 second video embedded in this link that to enter the NWO everyone will be required to have a smart phone, bank account , and upload their digital ID:

Please do NOT upload your digital ID as that is you giving your mark to the beast to buy and sell:

Hi Rhoda,
They have chosen Scotland to be the thin end of the wedge.
Then they will try Wales then England.
Our money has lost so much of it’s value, our dual passport MP’s have to cover it up.
Whoever says they are running the country, are just running it into the ground.
Over the last 25 years it has been shutting down by design.
Yup, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland will assuredly follow.
Certainly, anyone with a brain in his head can see it is “shutting down by design.”
There are two supermarkets up here in the Outer Hebrides; I say “supermarkets”, but compared to the mainland-they are but corner shops! Truly.
Anyway, a ‘cashier’ on the checkout I was on yesterday, practically had a meltdown moment because the lady in front of us who she was serving gave her physical cash (notes), she had to call her supervisor to do the math for her.
This is where we are folks…
Please explain a bit more
[…] ScotAccount: A digital ID that is being introduced across Scotland […]
as an IT person there has always been competition between the major online vendors for your identity for the last 20+ years – whenever you want to authenticate with an online service you are presented with a number of options such as google, amazon, microsoft etc. – essentially one ID to access many services – this has always been the ultimate goal of the major vendors to be the only authentication option available because if you own the ‘global directory’ you can control access and the data to anyone’s service including competitors – so many people have willingly complied already to make their lives ‘easier’/less friction – the government ID is just the next step.
Hi Raj Patel, thank you for your insight. I have been saying this to people for a long time but they just can’t seem to grasp how, in the name of convenience, they have been facilitating the building of the digital prison.
thank you rhoda, only today i was walking in the park and town centre and saw so many people totally occupied on their mobile phones – most were walking along with their heads down and mesmerised by their phones – other people having to avoid bumping into them – if they are not using them they usually have it in their hands as they cannot bear to part with it – i just shook my head in dismay at the sight and thought what the heck has happened to us in the last 20 years and is this the downfall of our civilisation?
Hi Raj Patel, I see what you’re describing all the time. People walking dogs, out walking with their children, walking across roads and even riding bicycles while their eyes are fixed on their phone screens. It’s surreal.
I don’t know your beliefs but in the Christian faith we are warned about the mark of the beast. It is described as a mark or sign that identifies those who worship the beast, which is often identified as the antichrist. The mark is placed on people’s right hand or forehead. Those without the mark cannot buy or sell, indicating economic control by the beast. (Rev 13:16)
Most of us are right handed and so carry/use our phone in/with our right hand. When we talk on the phone we lift it to our ear which is close to/on the side of our forehead. Are mobile phones the mark of the beast? Probably not (well, not in their current form anyhow) but with mobile phones we can already see how this prophecy will play out.
It is REALLY scary how people are so glued to their phones! I see it all the time, even up here – mostly with the younger generation. You’re so, so right, it is “surreal.”
Can these people be detoxed, even?
Who but God in Christ can deliver such?
Mobile phones per se are NOT “the mark of the beast”, nevertheless, the technology encompassed within them sure is leading full speed to the dreaded “mark of the beast”.
