Japan has been moving towards complete integration with the national ID recently. They’ve had it for a while, but now I’m seeing businesses being forced to use their scanning units. To get any service, you have to scan your card and then do a face scan. There is a button to refuse the scan which I personally press every time - but my guess this is just a warming up period until they completely remove that option. It’s creepy and dystopian but is quickly becoming the norm. Last year it wasn’t really a thing but now it’s rolling out in more places.

Gross
what you mean "to get any service"
Anywhere you’d show an insurance card for starters, or to interact with your municipality in any way. Not like auto services or anything. Though, I wouldn’t discount expansion to more places eventually.
Power gonna power until it can't no more.
How about those airport-customs like full photo-booth scanners on the subway express lines. That shit is unbelieveable
I honestly think that our government is going to fail soon, along side many others, and this is them trying to hold onto power
Oops.
