You can't trust your govt and you can't even trust the World Bank. Digital ID is being pushed globally, their excuse is to help people to get jobs and financing.

I'm not an expert on this, but you should not make a one-sided argument on a topic that people are not familiar with.
I'm trying to tell how bad it's. Since there's no article/news on internet that talk about Digital ID being pushed how it will eroding our privacy, so most people have no idea there's a bigger issue than eIDAS.
Recently our government started asking people to register for the National Digital ID system by using an app on the phone.
I can imagine it can be a problem, but pasting a barely related topic with a warning on conspiracy, backing the ideas with URLs from unheard sources doesn't help.
You sound paranoid
boiling frog spotted.
Digital ID isn’t the problem here. No system is risk free and we should always think critical but the concept of digital id is a huge plus for privacy.
Most people receive important documents in their mailbox while a Mailaccount is actually very unsecure to keep your data safe. In some places in Europe official/important documentation goes to a special mailbox that can only be opened using a digital id. Its miles safer then a password.
The issue at hand could be a problem For digital id safety but that would be just one of many more negative effects from this bill. Id or not europeans be screwed.
I think physical keys would be better
Interesting ideas but still half baked
