As a British Citizen I've just decided I don't care what the law is and I will just circumvent any of these laws. The current government have basically told everyone that OSA, Mandatory Digital ID etc. is going to happen whether the electorate like it or not.
I suggest people put their energy to not trying to convince anyone and instead put their energy into protecting themselves and learning how circumvent these measures. People who understand the issues of these ID checks don't need convincing and those that don't you are unlikely to change their mind.
Sooner or later it will become apparent that these laws are unenforceable (via VPNs, Tor or similar tech) and eventually they will be repealed or more likely no enforced like most piracy laws are now. The UK (as well as many of other countries) already lost the war against banning torrent sites (as they are effectively a hydra) and I don't think it get enforced anymore because I can to the big torrent with out issues.
They don’t care whether it can be enforced against who publicly the law is. There are no people who understand any part of this, and they say that it’s enforceable. The goal is not that. They care about normies, not tech people, or criminals.
