End of September, Switzerland will vote for E-ID. A big threat for our privacy as it will widely used for tons of new use cases.

Behind the government pitch of an "open source project, completely optional" hides big tech industry... Which will make it mandatory to access their services.

What are your thoughts on that ?

private ids where always the scope of the privacy movement. However, it may as such present other challenges which can include age based discrimination. It as such must be implemented wisely.

Age is already being weaponised against us (child protection, etc), this shouldn't be like that - We can already see what kind of power governments hold. Ageism is what will ultimately destroy us.
