@Tutanota Hello 👋

@Tutanota

The UK's proposed mandatory digital ID is also a step toward banning anonymous cash and forcing all transactions into the digital realm, where it and private vendors can yank your access on a whim, at a moment's notice.

@Tutanota I agree, and yet many, if not most, people allow corporations to collect all of that information, and more. The users sometimes freely give it too. Google, Apple, Amazon, Meta, X/Twitter/Bluesky, every supermarket club card, etc. And many of these companies and their data broker buddies sell this data, so the government doesn’t need to collect it themselves. They can quietly drink from the firehouse of data already available.

@Tutanota errr, your finances are needed to tax you.

@Tutanota And let's revive the old #No2ID

@Tutanota It will be mandatory to have it for work or to get benefits and it isn't compatible with non-Google Android variants. UK in US Tech's pockets once again.

@Tutanota and NEITHER DO CORPORATIONS!!!

@Tutanota with the number of data breaches that happened world wide, I can only worry about this

@Tutanota I am on business in China at the moment and this is what they have. Scanning their id everywhere and everything we do is recorded. I was literally telling them yesterday that this is coming in Europe.
