Preventing the Government from Abusing Digital Tools: A Case Study of Digital ID Cards

Breakthrough Forum 2021: Preventing the Government from Abusing Digital Tools: A Case Study of Digital ID Cards

A digital identification card can combine a variety of digital information, which seems to provide great convenience, but there are also hidden concerns of government surveillance and information leakage.

If the government abuses digital tools, your personal data, communication records, transaction records, health data, and even your whereabouts may be completely controlled by the government. Does this mean the arrival of a digital totalitarian era? At that time, who can supervise whether the government misuses information? Who can assist the people to protect their rights and seek relief?

There are pros and cons to a renewed digital ID card, but is it reasonable to compel renewal? Who will answer information security concerns? Please join us for a thoughtful discussion!
