Will you hand over a government ID to access email or social media services?

That's coming to Australia soon.

Our federal government is pushing hard down the full digital ID route as well. Social credit scoring is being pushed for by government agencies and business sectors like banking and insurance.

I don't think you have a national ID card in Australia yet?

I presume you are referring to the requirement to provide age identification to access certain internet services. I'm not sure how you get from there to "social credit scoring".

@SunshineGirl Back in the 1980's the very first attempt at a national ID card - The Australia Card - was proposed and public outrage caused it be quietly abolished. There have been a few proposals for a national ID scheme since. The big push now is on to try and make full digital ID mandatory for accessing any federal government service and most state governments are already using various digital ID systems for things like licensing.

Social credit scoring would link with fully programmable digital currency systems to allow government and third parties to decide what you are allowed to buy and have access to.

That sounds like over kill.id expect push back to sop that from happening.

@justanothername Our government is pressuring services like Gmail to introduce forced provision of government ID by year's end. This might link with the push to 'ban' social media sites (including youtube) from under 16 y/o's by year's end.

I stopped going to porn sites since they require ID because of where I live

@Guardian Indeed but it's not about cash it's about being forced to hand over government issued ID to access services like email, social media, etc. going forward.

@Gusman We need freedom from religion and guns - not freedom of religion and guns.

Remember this is what people wanted. No more human control, robots control humans, the digital age.

Humans had the power to stop this from happening back in the 1980s but didn't listen to the smart people

Now this is what you get. A One World Government that is controlled by robots

Its coming
