Sadly Marty, most jurisdictions already have some form of digital identity legislation. And governments will want to control who is identified (e. G. As a Canadian or German or whatever).

In my country the digital id legislation passed but hasn't really commenced yet.

I also heard in Switzerland cantons actually voted against it, but it was still shoved through.

First policy is developed by global bodies, then legislation is passed, and 2-3 years later when all supporting framework is in place then it goes public.

In Switzerland we were tricked into voting against the fact that the digital ID would be developped and managed by a private third party, but we never had thr choice to votr against it altogheter, unlike what most people understood.

So now they will come back with a proposal to develop and manage it by the governement directly. At least it should be open source as I tjink it's mandatory for public developped software where people must trust it, but I'm not sure about it.

There is still a chance to refuse it again if someone gather enough signature to vote against the new proposal.

Thanks for that explanation. The person I had spoken to was slightly off.
