I can't find anything about the UK either way. I only find things about cats and dogs (they either are or were thinking about making microchips compulsory for dogs, which I kind of support).
I figured as much. It would have been all over every right wing U.S. news outlet, and we watch ALL the news sources in my house.
I'm surprised I haven't seen more out of context pulls from the recent executive order that establishes the ability to take over communications in the US in the event of a national emergency.
@chrisname: If chipping is possible for animals, it's possible for humans, too.
@Catfish2: Yes, YouTube. Google's YouTube will be the next TV, apparently.
No-one's arguing whether it's possible, this is about whether it's actually being done, which it isn't, and there's no evidence of plans to do it in the near future either. Like I said, fear-mongering.
