"You will now have digital ID" and "You will now have to scan your ID at store" are two completely different things.

Correct! Different things for now. But can you guess will come next?

This just makes it so much easier to take that next step.

You know governments don't turn fascist in one move? But we are 100% getting closer and closer.

Or are you so naive to trust your government to never decide to take that next step and require you to scan your id everywhere?

I mean, it's just your phone that you carry around all the time anyways, not like they're asking you to bring your passport or national id card, right? They'll just record that, but no worries mate, as long as you're not anti-fascist, you're safe!

That obviously depends on where you live. Spain, Poland or Estonia have had digital IDs for decades now and no one is scanning them anywhere. No one is even mentioning that. If you have an issue with fascist government say that. Mixing the whole concept of digital ID in it just doesn't make sense.
