Amendment 6 is about verifying that the sources of information for verification are good. Amendment 8 is about giving institutions a duty to be accurate. Those things matter if you are dealing with a verification system that will become, for instance, a source of digital identity in pubs and clubs—most obviously for age, but also for sex in terms of using particular facilities. The systems will have drawn their data from the sort of institutions mentioned in Amendment 6 and will regard that data as accurate. It will be extremely difficult for someone in a club to argue with something that appears on a digital verification system. It will be important that that information is accurate.
