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.

You see both a larger picture that provides the same, consistent info with additional data and an explanation of the information contained in the screenshot I shared above. Typically a second independent source is considered a good thing when fact checking, friend.

Buyt hey, since you're so simultaneously concerned with sourcing every single instance of the same data and unwilling to do any work to find it yourself (which you aren't, at this point you're mostly being antagonistic), the source of the original image is this video, not Google Images.

And in case you're too busy demanding other people do work for you for free to actually watch it, the numbers are the age gates for mandatory ID in those countries and are there because I just happened to land on that particular frame when screenshotting it. Because... yeah, I decided to only devote so much time into looking this up for you all. I do enough homework for people on the Internet as it is.

    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.
