The UK government, reinforced by Keir Starmer at a press conference today, has announced its intention to ban social media access to under-16s from early next year.

The ban will be enforced using facial recognition software and digital IDs.  To enable this, everyone wishing to use social media will be subject to facial recognition and digital IDs.

Aside from the obvious destruction to online privacy and freedom of speech, and the totalitarian control over every aspect of our lives which will ensue, how accurate is the technology that the UK government is imposing on the entire population?

Today, the UK government announced a ban on social media access for all children under the age of 16.  Starmer is hoping the regulation will be passed through Parliament before Christmas and the ban enforced in the Spring of 2027.

Described as an “Australia plus” policy, this measure is one of the strictest online crackdowns in the democratic world and goes beyond the limits previously imposed in Australia.

The government plans to use “highly effective” age assurance systems, including age-recognition facial scans and digital IDs, to verify user ages.

Social media platforms that will require biometrics and digital IDs to be accessed will include:

• Facebook
• Instagram
• X (formerly Twitter)
• Snapchat
• TikTok
• YouTube

We should note that everyone, not just under-16s, will be subjected to facial scans and digital IDs – “to protect children online” is a ruse to implement control over the entire population using whatever digital technology they have at their disposal. 

Apart from ending online privacy and aiming for complete control over the information we can share and have access to, their digital tools are not as fail-safe as they like to pretend.

Some might claim that some facial recognition software is  99% accurate.  But this is under controlled environments with high-quality, cooperative images – i.e. under laboratory conditions.  In real-world settings, the accuracy of facial recognition in sporting venues, for example, ranges from 36% to 87% depending on camera placement.

Coupled with facial recognition inaccuracies, social media platforms use artificial intelligence (“AI”) programmes to estimate user age through facial analysis.  Apart from the “estimation” of age, AI programmes themselves are not accurate. 

AI has inbuilt biases (all software is only as unbiased as its developer) and manipulations.  But that’s not all.  These computer programmes are prone to generating “hallucinations,” which are false, misleading or fabricated information that is confidently presented as factual even though it is incorrect.    For example, a 2025 study found that 45% of AI queries regarding news and current affairs produce erroneous answers, with major platforms like ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini frequently generating factual inaccuracies, hallucinations and biased outputs.

The following article shows how similar errors make their way into reports for large corporations and governments. 

In one case, KPMG, one of the Big Four accounting firms, reproduced AI hallucinations as factual – ironically, the report, written by AI, was about agentic AI.  Agentic AI is an artificial intelligence system that can accomplish a specific goal with limited human supervision.

In another example, a Big Four consultancy firm relied on inaccurate, unreliable AI-generated content to produce a report for the Australian government.

KPMG’s AI Report Becomes An Accidental Demo of AI Hallucinations

By Carly Page, as published by The Register on 12 June 2026

KPMG’s October 2025 report on the wonders of agentic AI has been accused of demonstrating one of the technology’s less desirable talents: making things up.

Research outfit GPTZero claims a forensic review of the Big Four firm’s October 2025 report, ‘Total Experience: Redefining Excellence in the Age of Agentic AI’, found that only five of its 45 citations correctly pointed to the cited source; the rest ranged from mangled and misleading to partially fabricated or too vague to verify.

The consulting industry has form here. Last year, Deloitte ended up refunding the Australian government after AI-generated content slipped into a taxpayer-funded report. 

GPTZero dubbed the phenomenon “vibe citing” – the citation equivalent of vibe coding – where generative AI appears to stitch together fragments of real sources, invent titles, or otherwise produce references that look convincing until someone actually clicks them.

GPTZero alleges that roughly half of the report’s factual claims were false, unsupported or attributed to the wrong source. Several case studies highlighting supposedly cutting-edge deployments of agentic AI appear to have been particularly creative.

Among the examples highlighted by GPTZero were purported agentic AI deployments at UBS, Swiss Federal Railways and Transport for London. According to GPTZero, the sources cited to support those case studies either did not substantiate the report’s claims or contained alterations and paraphrasing that undermined their reliability.

More Context:

• PwC will say goodbye to staff who aren’t convinced about AI
• Accenture tells staffers: If you want a promotion, use AI at work
• McKinsey wonders how to sell AI apps with no measurable benefits
• KPMG partner in Oz turned to AI to pass an exam on … AI

“These factual errors are not confined to the report’s footnoted passages,” GPTZero said. “On page 42, the authors claim that Emirates airline has adopted a mobile chatbot named Sara (false) that can converse directly with passengers (partially true) and change their flights (false). In fact, Sara is a robot assistant introduced by Emirates in 2023 (not a chatbot) that lacks the ability to alter flight bookings.”

Not all of the alleged problems involved external sources. GPTZero noted that the report appears to contradict KPMG’s own research, citing a figure of 55 per cent of CEOs ranking AI as their top investment priority. KPMG’s 2025 CEO Outlook, released the same month, put the number at 71 per cent.

KPMG has since removed the report from some of its websites while it investigates how the publication made it into the wild, according to the Financial Times. [You can find an archived copy of the report HERE.]

A spokesperson at KPMG told The Register:  “KPMG International takes the accuracy and integrity of its published content seriously. The report has been removed and we are reviewing the circumstances surrounding its publication. We expect all our people to follow our guidelines on the responsible use of AI, including human oversight to validate content and verify independent sources.”

Consulting firms have spent years warning clients about AI hallucinations. According to GPTZero, KPMG may have just provided a live demonstration.

Tony Blair has been praising the “amazing benefits” of merging digital IDs, facial recognition, and Artificial intelligence (AI) claiming it will “spot suspects in real time” making us all “safer.”

Critics however point out that this is just another step toward mass surveillance and control

The post Tony Blair Praises ‘Amazing Benefits’ Of Merging Digital ID With Facial Recognition & AI appeared first on HopeGirl Blog.

A recent announcement of a “mandatory” digital ID is not unique to the UK.  New digital ID laws have been implemented across the world in recent months, suggesting a broader effort to establish a global system of control.

For years, Aman Jabbi, a Silicon Valley technology veteran, has been warning about the creation of a “digital prison” through the integration of advanced surveillance technologies – including facial recognition, artificial intelligence and a network of surveillance devices – which will enable continuous monitoring and individual identification.

The long-term plan is that “facial recognition will be used to unlock your digital identity,” he said.

A recent article published by Paul Cudenec began:

In 2025, the British state announced it was about to impose a “mandatory” digital ID on the population, without which they would not be able to work.

The arrogant duplicity behind the roll-out has been jaw-dropping.

The name “Britcard,” for instance, is meant to resonate with feelings of national pride and suggest that it is all about proving how British you are in the face of all those illegal immigrants that somehow keep sneaking into the country.

But the authorities are laughing in the faces of what they consider to be a hopelessly gullible public – the “Brit” in fact stands for “Biometric Registration Identification Tracking”.

And it is not the specific British response to a specific British problem that it is being sold as.

As Jason Bassler points out, new digital ID laws have been lined up and pushed through all across the world in the last three months, from Mexico to Thailand, from Switzerland to Papua New Guinea.

Digital tyranny at the door, Paul Cudenec, 9 October 2025

So, what is happening?  As Cudenec surmised: “When we also consider that digital ID forms a central plank of the WEF’s global control agenda, it becomes all too clear what is happening here.”

However, Cudenec only named one half of the global partnership; the other is the United Nations.

Note: If you read Cudenec’s full article, you will note that he goes on to conflate “the Zionists” with the Globalists and then focuses all the blame on the undefined, unidentified “Zionists” as the masterminds behind the Globalists’ plan.

Anti-Zionist propaganda is a red herring being widely disseminated to throw the public off the scent of the perpetrators and lose sight of the overall plan.  In the first instance, we should ask ourselves: Why use identity politics, a left-wing ideology used as a tool by the Globalists, to identify who the Globalists are?  For a deeper understanding of how socialist and communist ideology is used for propaganda purposes, please read ‘Islamists have used left-wing ideology to propagate anti-Zionist beliefs in the West’.  We should bear in mind that Islamists are not working alone.  For some insight into who is working with or using Islamism and Islamists as a tool to further their agenda, please read ‘Who controls the Muslim Brotherhood?’ and ‘Gaza: Have you been tricked into following their agenda?’.

Digital Prison

Aman Jabbi, a Silicon Valley technology veteran with over 25 years of experience in video and camera technology, has co-founded two video camera technology startups and played a role in the development of camera technology used in smartphones, video streaming and movie production.

He has been a prominent speaker on the topic of facial recognition, digital identity and surveillance systems, warning about the creation of a “digital prison” through the integration of advanced surveillance technologies.

Jabbi has presented extensively on how facial recognition technology is being deployed as part of smart city infrastructure, with applications in public spaces, supermarkets and schools. He argues that the widespread use of facial recognition, combined with artificial intelligence and a network of surveillance devices – potentially numbering in the tens of billions – is enabling a system of continuous monitoring and individual identification.  He links this development to broader concepts such as the social credit system, digital real estate, the metaverse and the World Economic Forum’s “Fourth Industrial Revolution,” suggesting these technologies are part of a coordinated effort to establish a fully integrated command and control system.

We have included some resources where Jabbi has discussed the creation of the digital prison later in this article, but for this article, we highlight his warnings to the world as summarised in a recent documentary.

On 4 June 2025, Oracle Films released its documentary ‘The Agenda: Their Vision – Your Future’ which examines the digital prison which awaits us if we do not push back right now.

Beginning at timestamp 13:20, Jabbi explains how facial recognition works and the ultimate aim.  Facial recognition is a technique that is used to uniquely identify the biometrics of any face, he said.  He continued:

Seven police forces to be equipped with new technology considered a ‘game-changer’ for catching criminals in London

A minister has paved the way for a nationwide rollout of live facial recognition (LFR) cameras to catch criminals.

Sarah Jones, the policing minister, said the Government was planning to publish national guidance that would tell police forces where, when and how to use the technology more widely.

The Home Office has committed funding to deploy facial recognition cameras in seven police forces: Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, Bedfordshire, Surrey, Sussex, Thames Valley, and Hampshire.

Two – the Metropolitan and South Wales police – already regularly use LFR cameras to identify suspects by matching their images against watchlists of suspects.

Ministers have accepted that the pilot deployments in London and Cardiff have been successful in enabling police to arrest alleged rapists, robbers and sex offenders.

Since the start of 2024, LFR deployments around the capital have led to 1,035 offenders being apprehended, and 773 charges or cautions having taken place. It followed pilot deployments in Croydon, south London.

Ms Jones told a fringe event at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool: “What we’ve seen in Croydon is that it has worked. We just need to make sure it’s clear what the technology is going to be useful for going forward. If we are going to use it more, if we do want to roll it out across the country, what are the parameters?

“Live facial recognition is a really good tool that has led to arrests that wouldn’t have come otherwise and it’s very, very valuable.”

LFR technology connects cameras to a watchlist containing photos of suspects wanted for a range of offences. As an individual walks past a camera, their facial measurements are scanned for a positive match against the database, which alerts officers to seek and stop them.
