Pretty comprehensive overview of where digital ID is heading globally. The Estonia model keeps coming up as the reference point but the key diffrence is scale, implementing this across 450M EU citizens is a different beast entirely. Worked with identity systems in fintech and honestly the techincal challenges pale compared to the political ones. Once you tie posting to verified identity, the chilling effect on discourse is gonna be real even without explicit censorship.
Agree. Its a massive change in humanity and yes the political and negative factors will be huge. In fact, even thinking of this aspect just feels damming.
