Whenever Digital ID’s are implemented, and they’re coming fast, it’s going to be the complete enslavement of yourself and complete control over everything you are and aren’t allowed to do with your life. The gov and banks, using an AI-internet of things financial control system, will be able to track and control every single thing you do, allowing them to micromanage you into complete slavery:
“Can we have the efficiency of a digital ID without letting government track our every move?
Yes, but that's not the path we're on.”
“However, many services, both public and private, are increasingly turning to electronic verification, which requires pinging a government server. This ping creates a data record outlining who, what, when, and where. Over time, these records create a government-controlled ledger of information about its citizens.”
“The privacy policy further details that the government shares information with third-party service providers and, much more concerningly, with law enforcement and other government agencies upon request.”
“Hughes is right that governments, by their very nature, resist privacy and are more than willing to exploit new technologies to surveil citizens.”
As states continue to implement digital ID systems, it is essential that they build tools in ways that protect civil liberties.
