The article from Reuters, published on March 6, 2025, addresses a false claim circulating on social media about the UK government announcing compulsory ID implants for its citizens. The claim suggested that starting in 2025, everyone in the UK would be required to have an ID chip implanted. However, this assertion is untrue. The UK government has made no such announcement, and there are no plans for mandatory ID implants. The article clarifies that while there are discussions around digital identity and security, no policy has been set for compulsory microchipping. The fact check was conducted by Reuters, debunking the misinformation and confirming that the claim is baseless.
