As a French person, it feels incredibly weird to see how much opposition other countries have for a concept (a national id database) that we've had before the internet even existed.
Looking into the details, I recently learned that the generalization of the national id dated from the Vichy regime, which... okay, yeah, I get why we might be alone in this.
But in practice, it works pretty well, and with very few negative effects.
- cromka 5y agoSame thing in Poland. Everyone always had an ID, now we have them with biometric info and RFID, which you can use by tapping it to your phone running an official app to log in to eGov portals. Very well executed in my humble opinion. I live in the States and when I show that to the locals, they cannot believe their eyes. eGov here is an absolute joke.
