When there is Government transparency, digital ID on ALL "public servants' with accountability to the will of the people then there MAY be a case for this "solution" in that specific application.
Without "equality" of accountability, there can be no "equality" in reality.The only way digital id should be adopted in a constitutional citizens right for digital data on the population to be constitutionally siloed and for it to be a breach of GDPR rules/Illegal for information systems to be linked and/or personal data transferred between the siloes.
Even cryptocurrency is not ready for primetime, imagine the sh**show when they try to roll out a multilayer global tokanised control grid?
“Hi this is the Gov.id helpdesk, how may I help you?”
“Erm my 15 minute city gate wont open, I tried rebooting my iPhone but its still not working…”
@MarkSean I fear the problem goes deeper than digital ID… If the government itself won’t enforce the law, it doesn’t matter what the law or the constitution says.
@ShadowNet I think you’re right it might be a fiasco if they roll it out too fast. The important thing is, once it’s rolled out, the government is never going to take it away, no matter how much chaos it creates. So it’s crucial to prevent it being rolled out in the first place.
It is doable, if there is a fully independent agency. But it will need criminal legislative change to be instituted and a new set of digital constitution rights to update the privacy and other constitutional rights clauses under a referendum. That could ensure breaches are both punished per se and data arising being tainted legally and so inadmissible in courts against citizens. If it comes down to political compromise, this might be a way to go. Independent agencies are already in place and operating, they are quite fierce against big tech already but should be tasked to watchdog any entity including governments, domestic and international as well. https://dataprivacymanager.net/5-biggest-gdpr-fines-so-far-2020/
