the implementation seems quite reasonable to me. i’m not sure how this is any different than carrying your physical ID when going through TSA security?
i suppose you could in theory imagine a future where apps “require” you to supply this to access some service online? is that the fear?
Just FYI some financial apps already require you to take a picture with your drivers license and upload it as part of KYC and other requirements. Having an official way to validate this seems better than entrusting that data with private companies, no?
I fear things like needing to scan IDs everywhere (like public transit) and then having your ID revoked for whatever reason (political, financial, whatever). If you look at China, you can see how digitization has been abused to infiltrate and control daily things.
got it. i mean, what’s to say a physical ID cant be black listed today…nothing stopping them from creating a black list of ID numbers. Would be trivial to do from the governments perspective.
