This marks the first time a digital ID system has reached mass adoption through legislative mandate rather than voluntary enrollment. The unprecedented 1,400% VPN surge alongside 25% digital ID adoption creates a measurable metric of those choosing compliance versus evasion - a pattern that could predict future mark of the beast acceptance rates.

📰 What Happened
The UK's Online Safety Act implementation has catapulted Yoti digital ID app to #2 on Apple's App Store, surpassing ChatGPT. CEO Robin Tombs reported a 25% traffic increase as the age verification system launched July 25, 2025. Proton VPN claimed the #1 spot with a 1,400% surge in hourly signups as users seek ways around the new requirements. The system includes biometric age estimation technology, with social platform Bluesky implementing KWS software for compliance.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The simultaneous rise of both compliance tools (Yoti) and evasion methods (VPNs) demonstrates an unprecedented bifurcation in population response to digital control systems. The integration with social platforms like Bluesky shows how biometric verification is becoming mandatory for basic online participation. The placement above ChatGPT in app rankings signals that identity verification is now surpassing even AI in technological priority - exactly matching the prophetic sequence where the mark system becomes the ultimate control mechanism above all other innovations.
