What could go wrong with forcing a data hungry AI company like Anthropic to force it’s users to do ID verification?

Meanwhile asylum-seekers are a great source for biometric data for the UK government: arstechnica.com/…/the-uk-will-scan-asylum-seekers…
As the West is trying to imitate totalitarian states as of late, they might be better advised to imitate their exports instead.

It seems the UK really needs the EU oversight. Ever since they left the country has gone to shit. And I was there after 2020 in London and despite what my parents told me, the city was shit (literally any mainland European city is better), it took a day to get out of the city by car and when got out, there was uncollected rubbish on the side of the motorway. Also there were so many CCTVs, many of which lacked the accompanying privacy notice (yes, they have GDPR, but they’ve gutted it).
A side note-The flashing blue light mobile surveillance security units weird me out. The ones like when you pull up in a parking lot and see that blinking light, it scared the shit out of me at first. It kind of looked like a flashing cop car.
