Digital IDs won't end privacy – that happened years ago

Blaise Tapp's view on life in the UK today

- 

Today alone, I've idly scrolled through my social media accounts on three occasions, asked Alexa numerous questions to settle family disagreements and used more digital apps than I care to remember.

On top of that I've performed nearly a dozen Google searches, driven into several car parks that use ANPR technology, and have used my cash card liberally during a pleasant family outing. It's been a thoroughly enjoyable and productive day, during which I've not given a second's thought to how much of a digital footprint I might have left.
