Little by little, like the frog in the pot, the digital ID card is arriving in Europe...

The Parliament gave the final green light to the regulation by 335 votes in favor, 190 against and 31 abstentions. Now it will have to be formally approved by the EU Council of Ministers to become law.

It will link all your data, both medical, tax, criminal records, etc...and everything will be finished off by introducing the cdbc in the same wallet.

Don't use this crap, refuse it.

The wallet is to be used on a strictly voluntary basis.

But this might be a trick for first phase to let people used to it first.

Wondering for how long it will be optional and not mandatory because if it is pushed from state level upon citizens then the only solution will be moving to different jurisdiction. In case of EU that would be a major location change. That is impossible for majority of people.

This will never be mandatory, not least because if it were, it would violate the constitutions of many countries.

I'm not asserting that this will be mandatory, nor confirming it would violate any constitution, but countries do violate their own laws, including constitutions.

Yes, they do. That's why Constitutional Courts exist, to enforce compliance with the Constitution.

But courts, including constitutional courts, are not perfect and are part of a system which isn't perfect. They may reach wrong conclusions and even when they get it right it may take a long time before they are even asked to decide about something.

You are right, but here in Portugal the Constitutional Court usually get it right. 😃

God-speed Europe 🫡

I pray we don’t get this in Canada

The ATO strongly encouraged me to sign up on the phone the other day, their shiny new “myGovID”. First all the Corporate office holders then rolling it out to the rest of us it seems.

GOT MY NPUB RIGHT HERE
