The ACLU's Jay Stanley is on Capitol Hill today testifying about how dangerous it is for states to push digital IDs without safeguards.

Digital IDs could function like electronic ankle monitors, making it easier for the government and companies to track all of us. Congress must protect our privacy.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again - digital ids, wearables, are dressed up ankle bracelets
These initiatives should be met with a great deal of suspicion: the eugenicist administration says everyone should have a wearable, and tech companies are trying to make us all think of wearables as health devices.

State legislatures around the country are embracing digital driver's licenses that, without proper guardrails, could empower widespread surveillance.

Before going all in on this technology, states must ensure that transactions using digital IDs can't be tracked or monitored.

With digital IDs & digital currency…

“government will know all your possessions. Any possession without a digital token would be classed as contraband. That’s the world neoliberals want to take us into, and they are getting us there, step-by-step”

Tony Blair's vision for digital IDs is the most Orwellian thing you will ever read
The British government has announced it will introduce digital IDs by the end of this parliament without any parliamentary vote.

What this article leaves out is that if you hand your unlocked phone to a police officer, they can legally search it. Unless companies develop a method that allows you to show officers insurance cards and driver license without unlocking the rest of your phone, don't.

A digital prison with digital IDs, everything tracked and surveilled by Palantir, forced to work in SEZs and freeports for low wages, no human rights or civil liberties. All tested on Palestinians. People better wake the fuck up fast and strongly push back.

Forcing everyone to submit government IDs to big tech companies to use nearly every aspect of digital technology, forcing social media companies to scrub and censor the internet. Limiting political speech, artistic expression, etc. These are the real threats of child safety internet bills

Digital IDs are a terrible, dangerous idea for numerous reasons.

But, even on their own terms, what's the gap they're supposed to fill?

It seems many people don't realise that we already have eVisas. All migrants get this "digital record" of their status and permission anyway.

Yep, its collapsed and been couped by fascist billionaires. They are now looting the remaining wealth and putting the people in a Palantir digital prison with digital IDs and total surveillance.

Not going to vote your way out of this.
