    remind me again how digital IDs are going to make us safer when every company with people’s personal details is constantly getting hacked?

          If it’s decentralized, you’re original point about companies being able to get hacked doesn’t apply anymore

              The current ID system we have - social security numbers - are infinitely worse. Add 1 to it and it’s another valid SSN. Most of the numbers can be determined with regional info

                I don’t know who’s paying you and all the others to say that shit, but digital IDs aren’t about keeping anything safe, it’s about controlling the population and locking them out of society when they misbehave. If you make any political statement that rocks the boat you don’t exist anymore. If you become a whistleblower, you don’t have any freedom anymore. If you do anything at all that the oligarchs don’t want you to do, you’re not a person anymore.

                  No one’s paying me anything, and I’m well informed of the civil liberty issues surrounding government IDs in general, let alone digital or paper.

                  What I am referencing is decentralized digital ID. There is no ominous they or third party who could control you with a decentralized digital ID. We already have a pretty shitty ID system, but a better ID system with less centralized control can exist
