MODERATORS
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
