    Identity hasn’t been a matter of personal relationships for 75 years. The government has been giving your a number and told you that you’re only the name on a list for generations.

    I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, the digital ID isn’t the problem, it’s how the government allows third parties to use it that’s the problem.

    Estonia has been using digital IDs for almost a decade, but where is your indignation at “don’t let us become Estonia!”? There is none, because y’all are ignorant and this whole class of panic is incorrectly attributed to the wrong things to be worried about.
