Big win.
The less data collected on IDs the better.
Take for example the state of lebanon today. You can draw a straight line from data on IDs, to the collapse of government of 2021.
The lebanese govt was collecting religion data in their IDs back in the 20th century.
On the run up to the 1970s civil war and during the war , people were stopped, harrassed and later murdered based on their stated religion.
After the civil war concluded this was taken off official documentation but the damage was already done: sectarianism had taken root in society and laws passed designating that the PM must be from X sect, the president from Y sect, etc.
This took cronysm and sale of offices to new heights, culminating with the bloodsucking of the state via revolving door between the major sects that had granted themselves permanent state powers.
Now the country is bankrupt, with massive brain drain, and sectarian strife.
The less groups the govt can create, the healthier we are as a a society
