The UK's Online Safety Act demands ID checks in the name of "protecting kids." The real result is massive privacy risks, zero accountability, and a playbook for disaster.

Just look at Tea, a viral women-centric dating app that promised empowerment, demanded passports to prove you're a woman, then dumped XXXXXX selfies and IDs into an open Firebase server with no password. 

Driver’s licenses, face scans, geolocation data were all slurped up by 4chan in minutes.

Tea’s breach isn’t some one-off screw-up. It’s a preview. This is what will happen when lawmakers force digital ID systems into apps and call it safety: flimsy infrastructure, impossible stakes, and users paying the price when things explode...
