BritCard ID Now Mandatory — What Happens if You Refuse? (www.ibtimes.co.uk)

Failure to present a BritCard when required may result in denial of employment, housing, or access to certain services. Employers and landlords will be legally obligated to verify status through the system, and failure to do so may result in fines or penalties.

While enforcement details are still emerging, civil liberties groups warn that the scheme could disproportionately affect vulnerable populations. Those without smartphones, digital literacy, or stable housing may struggle to access or maintain their digital ID, potentially pushing them further into the margins of society.

That video is what you could've linked in the first place. It clearly explains the whole situation, and the colors and numbers make sense in the context (they're highlighted examples and not really exceptional cases). Don't act like you're doing any "work for free" when you yourself admit you're lazily cropping other people's work.

So let me get this straight, you're arguing that you shouldn't be repurposing other people's images in conversations on Lemmy/Fedi?

Have you... seen the Internet?

Also, I pasted a screenshot to a piece of info instead of linking the fifteen minute video where it originated specifically to save people time. How hard can you Karen at someone giving you an accurate piece of info? You have now posted three separate times acting all mad about receiving accurate, increasingly detailed information. Am I allowed to go do my other tasks of the day now, boss? Or do you need me to look up any other factoids while you slap me with a riding crop?

I mean, I can fulfil a fact checking fetish in a pinch, unusual as that may be, but I do think we should get some safety words down at this point.
