This is what this is about. What ALL the law suits are about, these are just straws they are grabbing at to make it look like something different. Check out OhNoItsAlex on YT, he has great breakdowns. My post about this yesterday preceded his video about it, his video is way more detailed.
I’m going to get downvoted but honestly I’m not 100% against some form of digital ID. I don’t think these half baked, unthought through state laws and patchwork state systems are anyway way to go about it though and they certainly do not have enough safeguards in their laws to limit surveillance which I’m sure there are those who crafted the laws to intentionally leave that out and they certainly didn’t have any inkling of cybersecurity in mind when they proposed these laws.
I mean we in the modern age already have a crap ton of digital ID’s flying around using our NFC enabled devices and 2FA systems commercially and we mostly don’t blink a single eye on these systems and generally regard them as a safer alternative now. And let’s not pretend that these corporations aren’t tracking the living heck out of us already with this.
You’re right, you will definitely get downvoted with that opinion. The corpos sucking up data to track and advertise and whatever else is annoying, and i don’t want to make it even easier for them. And i definitely don’t want to help my shitass government round up undesirables any easier than they already can (including from those corpos…). There are no positives that i care about from an actual digital id. Privacy is harder and harder to come by everywhere in life, i don’t want to give an ID to use discord, steam, lemmy, or anything else.
