When you have something from the government like an ID card. They can't just turn it off. You have due process rights and right to appeal them turning off your ID card, etc. With private companies you don't have that. That's the danger of privatization of everything, due process rights go out the window.
Downvotable Material: There's a certain billionaire who wants to privatize the right to travel through a certain "passport" he's advocating. Will they just be able to turn you off and there will only be non-existent or unresponsive customer service that will just tell you that there are "reasons" why you're not in the system any more and they are a private company and can do whatever they want and buying their product is optional, when it really isn't. Hopefully, if this ever comes to pass, there will be extensive regulatory legislation like the Fair Credit Reporting Act to keep this sort of thing subject to due process and transparency. The global nature of this "passport" means that when in foreign countries with weak judicial systems they might still be able to arbitrarily terminate your account.
