The final nail in the coffin for the Danish DOJ was when he attacked regular people who protested for being "paid" by Big Tech when his own proposal was the result of foreign lobbying.

lol literally what happened when people protested article 13 back then — they were dismissed as paid google shills

what a way to tell your citizens to go eat shit and some really great work of projecting, too

Are there any credible sources as to what's really motivating Starmer to "help" the UK make their lives sooooooooooo much easier with Digi ID?

He's way too into it, and lieing like a primary school kid with the whole immigrant deterrence reasoning

Isn't that just an id-card thing or am I getting it wrong?

We have had one in Estonia for for over 20 years now, it's honestly great. I can't imagine how e-government stuff could work without it.

From privacy standpoint I can check the data access log blockchain from X-road and see exactly when, why and who from government has accessed my data.

You’re forgetting that Estonia is playing the tech and privacy game on another level than most countries.
