lib article. As if not implementing a "digital ID" is going to stop whatever the government and corporate plans are.
Can't wait for countries to continue having antiquated and hard to use systems for the public, while the entire "backend" infrastructure gets ever more sophisticated. Surely if it isn't convenient for me, it isn't convenient for the government! (Wrong!)
News flash, everyone already has a national ID, everyone is already in databases, everyone is already surveilled and tracked, everyone is already restricted from doing things if they're targeted by the government. God forbid there's a single benefit to it that isn't just arresting and brutalizing the enemies of white supremacy. Lets make sure everyone has to continue wasting their time navigating a mess of systems.
