Digital ID aims to ''centralize'' and ''automate''  authentication mechanisms ''more than'' existing systems, and to require that all business and government services trust and use these IDs and that these are the only way of establishing trust with users.

Could one imagine a stranger asking 'to borrow 50$' and him expecting one to trust him to return it?  Although this is about money, sometimes a trust issue is about identity. Knock-knock jokes would not have 'become jokes' if it wasnt so easy to deceive with words. <br />

The government and business world claim to see problems that parallel the workgroup model. For example it could appear to ''save a lot of administrative overhead'' if a new hospital was built nearby and could access individual files of the whole country, automatically.

To financially survive regional lockdown policies, many businesses made services accessible over the internet as much as possible.  Examples are mobile-apps with fast food establishments.
