End of September, Switzerland will vote for E-ID. A big threat for our privacy as it will widely used for tons of new use cases.

Behind the government pitch of an “open source project, completely optional” hides big tech industry… Which will make it mandatory to access their services.

What are your thoughts on that ?

    Mm yes the law, a thing that can never be changed, that big tech definitely doesn’t have power to influence, and a concept that other countries definitely won’t be “inspired” by

      In Switzerland, any law changes can be prevented by a referendum

      So, no, in Switzerland, the law can not just be changed.

          Yes, but the e-ID won’t change that.

          If no e-ID is existent, you’ll have to upload a scan of your real world ID instead, with all unneeded data included.
