Honestly if it had public trading I'd buy £5k worth of those shares in a heartbeat lol.
I wouldn't be surprised if this never actually happens though. Social Media already lobbies every Government enough to prevent any real action on bots/election influencing, this will probably be stopped at the gate and as Wayno noted, Burnham opposes it, so even if it goes through, he'll take a note from the Trump playbook with TikTok and repeal it and secure almost an entire generations vote for the next GE.
Digital ID though? Yeah fuck that. Also weasels out all of those nasty Tory opinions of coworkers whenever this shit comes up with the "Oh I have nothing to hide" argument.
