| | :While the intro paragraph might be accurate, I would suggest a bit less editorializing. I agree that digital IDs are a bad idea, but I think it would be more effective and helpful to our readers if we first just introduce what it is and how it functions, then get in to pros (yes, there are a few), and cons (which in my opinion are much more significant), and provide references to back it all up. Sure, there are hidden motivations for those in authority to push digital IDs, but some readers may not even be familiar with what one is. I would therefore suggest that we start there. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">DavidB4</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 03:43, June 17, 2022 (EDT) | | :While the intro paragraph might be accurate, I would suggest a bit less editorializing.

| − | ::The basic idea is that your driver license will be on your phone - which seems inevitable at some point. That's a good place to begin. Eventually everyone will need to do electronic income tax filing, or make unemployment claims that way. Getting Obamacare and all that stuff is done online. So you need to begin with the basic idea of a birth certificate, social security number, and driver license, and build it from there 9as long as the US still has some private medical insurers, the issue of medical records online should be dealt with last, which would probably need its own page anyway).
