Inclusion and equity are great values. The problem is when they are used as excuses to do the exact opposite. This is what is happening with digital IDs. They have already been partially implemented where I live. At first it seems practical to be able to access all sorts of public services very easily from the computer at home. But then we realize that every few years we have to get a new one. If for any reason they refuse to give it to us, we get blocked out of using the public services. https://youtu.be/gkGZ9PheqXA?si=go5fvO8TW_m-EMdB https://youtu.be/gkGZ9PheqXA?si=go5fvO8TW_m-EMdB

Wouldnt the same issue arise with paper IDs though? All paper IDs have expiring dates no?

Where I live yes, but they last much longer, and the number is always the same so for most activity, it doesn't matter. In fact, where I live the system was put into place by a genocidal dictator. Technically, if we are caught in the street without our ID we can be detained. It's not at all a free country. The fact that people put up with it here is simply because they never considered it possible to change, and that we just put the card in our wallet and always have it with us so we don't really notice it. In no way does that make it all right. People are very adaptable and get used to tyrannies. Kidnapped people often fall in love with their kidnappers as a survival instinct.
