Dick Allgire says digital IDs are coming:

Trudeau is already trying to sneak them in to enslave Canadians:

If they can create enough chaos over the next while, they will mandate digital IDs to "bring in order."

Digital ID is not bad in itself. It's a tool, and like every tool, it can be misused to do harm.

The beneficial form of digital ID is called "Self-sovereign identity":

In contrast to the digital ID given to you by governments or big corporations, you actually own your SSID, and nobody can manipulate it without your consent.

Well, actually, Michael Jackson went from (so-called) «black» to (so-called) «white» some-how;
And, even if he were to be put under a tropical-sun for a few months, would it really change ?

"It will be used to implement the Chinese-style social credit score system."

The chinese social credit score is NOT a self-sovereign identity. The whole point of any SCS is that the government decides what your score is. With SSID, this is impossible.

For example, if you decide to put a contract into a public blockchain and sign it with your SSID, which only you can do, the contracting party could decide to rate you based on wether you fulfilled the contract or not. But that would be stored with their ID, not yours, as they don't own your ID.

In contrast, with governmental digital ID, the government owns your ID and will rate you, no matter wether you made a contract or not. In fact, they will rate you for not consenting.

"Yes, one internet outage and suddenly everybody isn't using digital IDs anyway."

A PowerCube or similar technology can run a server rack without being plugged into the power grid.
