Send us a text On this week of Serious Privacy , Paul Breitbarth , Ralph O’Brien of Reinbo Consulting , talk about the UK's plans to introduce a mandatory digital identity card. This is not the first time a proposal for mandatory ID has come up in the UK, and Ralph has thoughts about it. Paul on the other hand is a little surprised about the uproar, since mandatory ID has been introduced in the Netherlands many moons ago.
