Fact : what's really behind the Swiss E-ID (lemmy.ml)

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 ?

As you mentioned. There's a new law coming without referendum. Today you'll need it to guy alcohol. Tomorrow streaming After tomorrow access to public transport

The open web forum in my picture exists. You can have a look. They dictate the rules. Its public information :)

Yes because that law did not get a measly 50k signatures. So there is no need to vote.

Because people are not involved in the digital topics as they don't understand it.
