Doesn’t matter if it’s a D or an R because they all want this gross shit. Can I get at least one real American who believes in privacy and liberty please!

I’m not seeing how this is any different than getting an ID at the DMV… in fact this may be more secure if you can’t just pull the ID up on a locked phone, which would be an improvement.

One of my objections is that it pushes proprietary operating systems without providing a neutral FOSS option. So in a sense, the tracking and profiling (per your Android or iOS phone) has to come along for the ride. It also opens the door to more and more invasive IDing both IRL and on the web as it will eventually be worked into a bunch of different things. Everything that’s optional now could become mandatory later. It’s like building a munitions factory but putting a “Mark’s Fruit Export & Wholesale” sign on the building. All you have to do is bust down a few walls and put a fresh coat of paint in things and the gig is up.

I’m one. There are actually a lot of us, and there have been for a long time.
The fight might appear lost right now but it is far from it. The pendulum swings fast.

Of course you can, but none of them will ever be in a position of power and the only two parties you can vote for both support shit like this, as you said.

But, does this make me immune from getting grabbed by a bunch of armed masked men? 🧐
