What are you feelings about the push towards adoption of full digital ID ?

By full digital ID, I mean a government issued/managed ID that gets used for *everything* and eventually will replace all sorts of seperate licenses, endorsements, etc. for access to government services at local, state, federal and even international levels.

ie. you won't have a physical license card for anything, even for accessing your banking, and the only form of 'identification' will be an electronic record linked maybe to biometrics or similar which will require you to carry an authorised 'smart device' everywhere you go if you can't do the biometrics to 'authenticate' yourself with.

This is the 'third pillar' of what the UN and WEF are pushing for alongside fully digital currency systems (CBDC - with no physical currency), and social credit scoring systems.

Social credit coming next.

@BritishFailedAesthetic Social credit already exists in China. It has been tested in Darwin here in Australia, and Italy has also been trialing things very similar to it such as a 'smart citizen wallet'. At present (unlike China) the Italian one is 'voluntary' and people can 'opt out'. That's still sneaky as it should be 'opt-in' instead to encourage positive uptake. Keir Starmer in the UK is attempting to implement full digital ID for anyone with a job in the UK before the end of his current term as PM and that will eventually link to social credit systems.

@zonavar68 I can't say I'm suprised with Australia, they are going full on in restricting freedom of speech.
