It will be facial recognition.

That's the only way that they can verify exactly who you are.

And do you know what, John?

Anyone who knows teenagers will tell you that what the teenager will do is they'll get their phone and they'll go to their mom and they'll say, mom, can I borrow your face for a minute?

and then they'll hold up their phones to their mom's face so that they can access social media.

So it will have absolutely no effect, I don't believe, on kids being addicted to these algorithms.

Never lend your face to your daughters.

No, exactly, but they will find a way around it.

I've spoken to you, I think, before about the fact that he's been putting pressure on Apple and on Google to take away some of this encryption that happens on these platforms so that the government could have access via the back door to see anything that you're doing, that it would be what's called client-side technology.

It would be on our devices, effectively, software updates, which means that so much of our privacy would go.

Nobody voted for this.

We haven't had a conversation in the UK about whether we are comfortable giving up our anonymity online.

We also, remember, have, I think it's about 30,000 people a year in the UK are arrested for non-crime hate incidents, which is a ridiculous way of saying you've said something that somebody else didn't like.

So it is this perfect...

Creation.

The government can decide whether what you say is right or wrong.

They can work with the tech companies to get you taken offline and your privacy is gone forever.

It is the digital cage and we are racing towards it.

Other European countries are not having these same restrictions placed upon them that we're facing in the UK at the moment.

There's a huge backlash.
