We have digital ID in Norway. Not long ago every Norwegian citizen was forced to physically show their identification to the banks to make sure their digital ID matches. If you didn’t comply they would freeze your assets and in long run terminate them!

This ID is linked to every official agency in Norway, making your citizenship a burden if you didn’t comply.

It was a EU regulation brought on to us. With the basis that this was to fight money laundering and illegal activities.

🥶. Thought it was very odd to have to scan my credit card to use the public restroom while I was there even though it was free. Another way to control the masses.

Strange. Its should be a small time fee on may public toaletts. Haven’t heard of any that’s free and require a card.

Its a lot of digital control in Norway. In the last years we’ve seen an amazing digital infrastructure here. We are perhaps one of the most digital developed country in the world. I can live 100% digital.

For the regular citizen this makes everyday life easier, and information is with you in your pockets at all time.

But the downside is more digital control and surveillance, and a society that accepts to be digitally tracked at all time. Because until now, we’ve actually benefited from this digitalization as a citizen.
