People handed over every piece of their information freely as soon as they started an email account. A digital ID adds fuck all to anything anywhere.
The best you could say is you just a have a bit of repetition. Exactly the same shit contained in a different format. Wow
Sorry BD, but you are so way off the mark with that comparison.
Well let's try and unpack it and see where we converge and diverge.
You violently disagree with formal ID, because you believe it infringes your personal freedom (anonymity ?) to move around being tracked.
I view that idea as simply unimportant,irelevant in any meaningful debate. And here's why:
Lets say I decide to meet a friend,lets call her Suzie. We communicate and agree timings and location.Then we meet and have our shared experience. lets imagine we meet in a pub first. Lets say we either visit an ATM or use contactless payment.
Our jouneys are recorded and tracked by CCTV. Our cell phones give updated location coordinates. Inside the pub we are recorded on CCTV. ATM usage is recorded,contactless payments are recorded.
Now lets imagine we had to show digital ID to gain entry. What extra information would we now be disclosing ? minimal at best.
So for practical purposes it would be no different than using a bank card,oyster card,library card or Tesco club card. In fact just owning those would buld up quite a nice profile and distribute a good reveal about a person.
Once you add in anyones online digital interactions then you basically have the complete person right there.They have revealed and confirmed their preferences,desires,habits,personality traits,IQ, and financials. Which is why every single company sells/swaps customer information with everyone else.Even our NHS. Privacy only exists if you can hide it well.And good luck trying.
Think of yourself as a library book that has been read millions of times. The argument or debate is where you sit on the shelf.
And I don't care because logically I'm not the librarian and nor will I ever be.
