  • Alright let me make a devils advocate position in good faith.

    Government surveillance is bad. A digital ID system is government surveillance.

    If the system is OP-in for non social media sites. But mandatory for major social media sites, pornography, liquor/weed purchase sites and for commenting on news sites… It’s not that different then the current web?

    I mean we all use Firefox, TOR and VPNs if we want privacy on the web at this point. The government having a centralized point to deanonymize you on standard web isn’t really a big deal.

    Now if they crack down on VPN/alternate methods then yeah… It’s gonna be a bad time. But I can actually see this as an attack vector to prevent misinformation.
