eID can go bad really quickly. But if done right it can bring a lot of good.

How do you do it right? Strong privacy laws. Create laws that define sectors, government, finance, health, commerce, and disallow by laws sharing information between these sectors.

Add high compensation with no need to prove damage + poison apple laws and eID will be a force for good

I beg to differ

Privacy needs to be fought for constantly despite the temptation and convenience etc of non privacy options

This Ben Franklin quite says it quite well:

"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

I am not sure we differ that much.

Privacy is indeed something that needs to be fought for constantly. It is mostly a political battle regarding *laws* and it is fought using *philosophical* reasoning. Not technology.

Technology in itself is neutral. With the right legal framework, backed by the right philosophy, eID can be a force for good.

We should focus on spreading the correct philosophy and less trying to fight technology
