Digital Identity for Dummies

Digital identity: they sell it like Netflix for bureaucracy. Everything faster, simpler, safer.

Translation: “give me your face, your fingerprint, your movements, and while you’re at it, the keys to your digital house.”

Instant convenience, long-term surveillance. But hey, you can renew your driver’s license from the couch… while they profile you down to the color of your socks.
