    Rather than In addition to this, they should leak all the websites that MPs are visiting.

    If it’s anything like the United States, we’re sure to find some embarrassing search histories (at the very least).

    No privacy for me. No privacy for you.

    I’d love to hear some informed commentary on the legality of this, if it’s legal, it’s surely an oversight in the law.

    Edit : just to be clear, I’m talking about creating the ID, rather than using it.

      On the criminal side, It’s identity fraud, and also an offence under the Misuse of Computers Act, gaining access to a system unauthorisedly. Civilly, it’s almost certainly a violation of the ToS.

    Yeah this is not worth the risk. Identity fraud of a politicians can be a serious crime. The pay off for this is a minor inconvenience for some desk worker and a few slop articles written about you.

      It can be used by AI age verification tools on a bunch of websites. So yes I guess that is fraud. But these tools claim not to store the data in the verification process. If somebody could prove a made up ID was used then I suspect they’re in bigger shit for a GDPR leak.

        It’s a case of mutually assured destruction: to charge someone with impersonation, they would have to admit that they saved data that was supposed to be only for age verification and then deleted.
