This AMA is weird. Bill Gates mentions chipping everyone for vaccine purposes. This is at best, extremely inefficient and insecure and open to fraud (I get a chip, and now I can be someone else?). Additionally inserting a chip is traumatic. People don't like the idea of having an electronic microchip embedded in their bodies. Immune systems tend to reject that and bacterial/yeast biofilms tend to grow on implants causing inflammation.
It's already been proven that biometrics are the gold standard for identification. You can't swap in someone else biometrics and fraudulently walk around as someone else. And you simply connect these biometrics to a cloud registry and go from there. Why wouldn't we just go with what works?
And if you don't consent, do you get locked out of the economy? Or do we hold you down and force inject you with a chip?
This implant doesn't make ANY sense and will systematize ID counterfeiting. Shame on Bill Gates. This should be laughed out of the room and then scolded as a human rights violation.
- zbyte64 7y agoI believe context is needed, so here is Bill Gates: "Eventually we will have some digital certificates to show who has recovered or been tested recently or when we have a vaccine who has received it." Either that means a biometrics being signed by 3rd parties or a chip being signed by 3rd parties. At best there are major privacy concerns. But things get weird elsewhere when you have developers talking about "anonymously" tracking people for purposes of identifying contacts. Just because you swap IDs with something random doesn't make it anonymous or safe. "Shit like this is why im a developer." - we have plenty of talent and a plethora of bad ideas
