NEW: Why One Login Should Worry Everyone: Andrew Orlowski on Britain’s Digital ID Gamble

We sat down with one of Britain’s most experienced tech journalists and an early critic of the myths shaping modern tech policy for an exclusive interview here: https://youtu.be/cbywu9BQbK4

Andrew has spent decades reporting from the front lines of Silicon Valley and Westminster, exposing how governments and Big Tech repeatedly treat machines as magical… and people as faulty machines. From platform monopolies to the “filter bubble” to the hard limits of AI, he’s been ahead of the curve - often years ahead.

In this interview, we dig into Andrew’s investigations into One Login, the UK government’s flagship identity system. He’s written major stories on failed security tests, outsourcing risks, ignored whistleblowers, and signs that a supposedly “simple login” is quietly becoming the backbone of a compulsory national digital ID.

We explore:

- What One Login really is - and why it matters nationally

- Serious security and governance failures inside government

- How “mission creep” turns convenience into compulsion

- Why a single digital ID could become a single point of failure

- And what safeguards would be needed to make any identity system safe, voluntary, and trustworthy

If you care about privacy, civil liberties, government overreach, or the growing power of digital systems over everyday life, this is a conversation you shouldn’t miss: https://youtu.be/cbywu9BQbK4
