Spain. I've owned a government issued ID with my fingerprints for forty years. That's no tragedy, believe me. I don't want government to have certain data and I don't want private companies to have other data. If you think about identity as a right, you might start to see things under a different light.
For many private actions companies demand ID number. That reduces identity theft to a bad movie plot.
- thinkloop 8y agoHow does this prevent identity theft, do the private companies verify the fingerprints?
- narag 8y agoThe national ID prevents identity theft. If someone gets something using a fake ID, it's a problem of the provider, so they have every incentive to check the card and request a signature for every transaction. If someone gets past the first filter, you simply go there with your card and make it their problem, not yours.
