Opposition to ID cards - grows?

[purpletigron]

Particularly for UK residents and passport-holders, at www.PledgeBank.com: "I will refuse to register for an ID card but only if 3,000,000 people will sign up." — Stef

"PledgeBank is based on a psychological bet. We believe that if a person posesses a slight desire to do something, and then we help connect them to a bunch of people who also want to do the same thing then that first person is much more likely to act."

(No, I don't know 'Stef'!)

Cory Doctorow is on the list. I suspect Stef may be the same guy who releaased the Wiki BBC News Online t'other day..

Ah ... Stefan Magdalinski (http://www.whitelabel.org/about-me/)? But there's only 232 people signed up so far, and I'd expect someone like that to have greater reach?

I'm not certain I believe in their premise. Me, I'm much more likely to do something if there isn't a whole herd of other folk doing the same thing. On the other hand, what are the chances, realistically, of this gaining enough momentum to reach 3 million? Maybe I wouldn't be joining the hers at all.
