That said, it makes me pretty grumpy that people are happy enough to have corporations like google, amazon, facebook, et al know everything about them, but somehow a government ID is a bridge too far.
Those companies don’t yet have an army of goons who will round up dissidents.
And frankly I’m not that worried about what Labour might do with a digital ID scheme, but the next government will be one to watch out for.
Those are fair points. However, does a digital ID really provide any additional information with which a government might oppress citizens and dissidents? Or do they already have all the same information?
